CHE 255L - Intro to Bioinformatics Lab

Institution:

Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

This is the laboratory component to supplement the introduction to bioinformatics lecture. Students will study and use methods and software tools for visualizing and understanding biological data by using computer science and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. This course will introduce tools useful for retrieving and analyzing biological data and will show how these skills can be applied to a wide range of disciplines such as molecular biology, medicine, biotechnology, forensic science, and anthropology. Students will explore topics such as protein-protein interactions and genomic sequencing data. Basic concepts in computer science (e.g. Linux command-line, batch scripting) will be followed up with introduction to data collection and mining techniques with current software packages. Lab will be a computer laboratory utilizing many databases and data analysis programs (which may include NCBI, UCSC genome browser, UniProt, GenBank, 1000 genomes, The Cancer Genome Atlas, HapMap, R, cBioPortal, Tetrad).
