Catalog

This advanced literature survey course in bioinformatics covers current and emerging topics in the field of Bioinformatics through the analysis of current primary literature. The multidisciplinary nature of bioinformatics will be highlighted through examples of computational approaches to solving biological, biochemical, and applied biomedical research problems. Emphasis is placed on the interplay between computational methods and how they are applied to solve real problems in biology and biochemistry. Students will engage in semester-long research projects culminating in a presentation of a topic from the primary literature.
