Laboratory Methods in Genomics

Catalog description

In this lab-only course, students participate in a real genome sequencing project (sequencing performed off-site). Students analyze sequences and annotate genes in the genome. This original research is computer intensive and contributes to the growing body of knowledge in genomics. Students participate in collaborative research projects and generate reports of their findings. May be taken simultaneously with BIO 309. Counts as an elective in the Data Science interdisciplinary minor. Prerequisites & Notes Successful completion of BIO 111/113/115 and 112/114/116 and one of the following: BIO 201, 202, 208/238, 209, 303, 306/336, 307/337, 309, or 333 are required. Satisfies group A only in combination with BIO 343.
