BIOL 363 - Genomics

4 Credits

1 Units

This course explores the techniques used to sequence and assemble whole genomes and to analyze the results at the gene and genome levels; it is extensively computer-based. By the end of the semester, each student will have improved the sequence quality of 40,000 basepairs of DNA to a publishable level and extensively annotated it, indicating the locations of genes, repeat sequences, and other sequence motifs. Fall, alternate years. Two 3-hour periods.

Prerequisite: BIOL 210
