Bacteriophage Genomics

Catalog description

Continues from MBI 223 (Bacteriophage Biology). First-year students will perform hands-on analysis of the genome of a virus that infects bacteria (bacteriophage). Students will be introduced to principles of DNA structure, genome organization, and basic principles of bioinformatics, and will apply this knowledge toward the annotation of a complete bacteriophage genome using current computational methods. Prerequisite: MBI 223 . Co-requisite: BIO/ MBI 116 .
