  • BIOL-GA 1126: Advanced Genetics

    4.00 Credits
    New York University

    In-depth study of experimental genetics from Mendel to the present, emphasizing methods and data by which genetic principles were developed and the genetic approach to biological research. Covers classic experiments on patterns of inheritance, chromosomes and genetic linkage, genetic variability, mutagenesis, DNA as the genetic material, and the nature of the genetic code. Special topics from both classic and recent literature include (but are not limited to) genetic screens, epistasis analysis, suppressors/enhancers, and mosaic analysis.

  • BIOL-GA 1127: Bioinformatics and Genomes

    4.00 Credits
    New York University

    The recent explosion in the availability of genomewide data such as whole genome sequences and microarray data led to a vast increase in bioinformatics research and tool development. Bioinformatics is becoming a cornerstone of modern biology, especially in fields such as genomics. It is thus crucial to understand the basic ideas and to learn fundamental bioinformatics techniques. The emphasis of this course is on developing not only an understanding of existing tools but also the programming and statistics skills that allow students to solve new problems in a creative way.

  • BIOL-GA 1130: Applied Genomics: Introduction to Bioinformatics and Network Modeling

    4.00 Credits
    New York University

    This course introduces fundamental methods of analyzing large data sets from genomics experiments. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on computational training, and in-depth discussions of current scientific papers, students learn the conceptual foundations of basic analytical methods, the computational skills to implement these methods, and the reasoning skills to read critically the primary literature in genomics. Analysis focuses on data from genome-wide studies of gene expression using microarrays and from genome-wide studies of molecular interactions. Methods covered include clustering, multiple-hypothesis testing, and network inference. A large part of the course is dedicated to students completing an individual project that is tailored to meet their background and training.

  • BIOL-GA 1131: Biophysical Modeling of Cells and Populations

    4.00 Credits
    New York University

    This course develops the biophysical approach to modeling biological systems, applied to classic problems of molecular biology, as well as to systems of recent interest. The course is organized in a bottomup way, beginning with models of cooperativity in binding and of promoter recognition and activation, proceeding through models of simple and complex networks, and working toward a population-level description of various systems. Diverse biological examples are presented to illustrate key concepts in biophysical modeling.
