4.00 Credits
This course will cover the basic concepts in this newly emerging field at the interface between mathematics and molecular biology. We will begin with basic problems of sequence analysis and alignment and move to applications in genomics, phylogenetics, predicting protein structure, analysis of microarray data, and the construction of gene networks in metabolism and development. Students will learn how to access the various databases and write a research proposal in molecular biology that may serve as the basis for thesis work. Prereq: MATH 131 and BIO 255 grade C- or higher, or/ci. (spring/odd-numbered years)
-
4.00 Credits
The course will focus on sampling design, statistical analysis, data collection, and the presentation of results. This is a field-based course that will prepare students to conduct research in ecology using statistical techniques appropriate for ecology. In addition to the nonparametric techniques of bootstrapping and randomization, students will learn the basic multivariate, time series, and spatial statistics employed in ecological analysis. Students will learn how to design sampling strategies, implement basic sampling techniques, collect data efficiently, analyze and present their data. Prereq: MATH 232 or MATH/BIO 233 grade C- or higher, or c/i. (fall)
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on all major aspects of genetics from classical Mendelian inheritance to molecular genetics. Students will become familiar with mechanisms of inheritance and explore how inheritance of genes influences all aspects of life. A portion of the course will focus on human genetics and the influences of genetics on human traits. The laboratory portion of the course will explore genetic principles using yeast, bacteria, and multicellular organisms as well as mutant screens, molecular genetic tools, computer databases, and genomic tools. Lab included. $20 Course Fee. Prereq: BIO 255 and MATH 131, or c/i. (spring)
-
4.00 Credits
Techniques for studying, teaching, and interpreting vascular plants, use of taxonomic keys, principles, and rules of nomenclature, and consideration of the taxonomic literature. Includes a botanic and/or interpretive project. $55 Course Fee. Prereq: BIO 114. (spring)
-
4.00 Credits
Structure and function of body tissues and the circulatory, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Lab included. Students without a background in high school biology may want to consider taking BIO 101 or 111 before enrolling in this course. $25 Course Fee. (fall)
-
4.00 Credits
Structure and function of the endocrine, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Lab included. Students without a background in high school biology may want to consider taking BIO 101 or 111 before enrolling in this course. Prereq: BIO 371, or c/i. (spring)
-
3.00 Credits
Incorporation of an appropriate work experience into the student's academic preparation. Prereq: Junior/Senior standing and c/i. (fall/spring)
-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics of interest. $25 Course Fee. Prereq: c/i and c/pc. (on demand)
-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics under faculty supervision. Prereq: c/i and c/vc. (on demand)
-
4.00 Credits
This intense, inquiry-based course will explore the mechanisms underlying the central dogma of molecular biology in close detail. Special attention will be given to gene regulation at the transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels as well as to mechanisms of signal transduction. In addition, a unit of the course will discuss the field of genomics as it relates to identifying and understanding specific regions of DNA sequence. The laboratory portion of this course will allow students to use their own research projects to learn techniques such as DNA isolation, gene cloning, agarose gel electrophoresis, PCR, restriction enzyme analysis, and many more. Lab included. $35 Course Fee. Prereq: BIO 255 and CHEM 331, or c/i. (spring/even-numbered years)
