BIOLOGY 161 - Introduction to Genomics

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

What is a genome? How do genomes differ between species and individuals within a species? How are genomes sequenced and how is computation used to understand genomes? These fundamental questions are explored through lectures and computer programming labs using PERL. A series of programming exercises examines several cryptographic systems in order to develop the programming skills needed to explore and understand the structure of genomic sequences. In final group projects, students develop computer programs to further explore a genomic topic of interest to each group. Prerequisite: the equivalent of AP biology or AP calculus, or permission of instructor.
