Biology 316 - Genomics,Proteomics & Bioinformatics

Institution:

Dickinson College

Subject:

Description:

The genome contains all the information required for the construction and operation of an organism. The genome directs the creation of a proteome, which is cell type and condition specific. Today, molecular biologists are able to study whole genomes and proteomes allowing for an integrative analysis of living systems. This course will explore these new genomic and proteomic techniques and their many applications. Central to these methods is the use of computer tools that facilitate the understanding of the huge data sets generated. We will learn how to use a variety of bioinformatics tools by applying them to specific questions about cell function, disease, and evolution. Three hours classroom per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 216 or permission of instructor.
