BIOL 686 - Genome Sciences

[4]
Genome science represents a convergence of classical biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology with the new discipline of bioinformatics into a new field. Advances in biomedical and agricultural research are developing the potential of genome science in both the private and public sectors. Important questions that have been unapproachable are now thought to be within reach. BIOL 686 provides students with the requisites for understanding genome science. It includes basic instruction in experimental functional genomics, and analytical bioinformatics. For example, students in BIOL 686 will learn how genome science is providing tools to unravel the arcane genetics of complex diseases and traits. Information sources will include textbook, the primary literature, and computer methods.
