Biocomputing

Catalog description

The human genome project and the web revolution present new challenges and opportunities for biologists and biochemists. The only way to deal effectively with the information explosion in biology and related disciplines is to use computers. Students in this course will use computer applications to search databases, perform calculations, and develop models concerning biological problems. This course is considered a capstone course for the biology degree program. A student may not receive credit for both BIOL 4900 and CHEM 4900 .
