3.00 Credits
Geomicrobiology is the study of the interactions between microorganisms and minerals. This course will explore the geological change mediated by microorganisms, microbial evolution driven by geologically diverse habitats, and applications of geomicrobiology, including understanding the evolution of life on earth, the study of life in extreme environments, and industrial application of geomicrobiology. The course includes classroom discussion, laboratories, and field trips. This course consists of 2 hours of lecture and 1 two-hour laboratory.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 1210
-
3.00 Credits
Bioinformatics is the use of computers to analyze biological data. Students will learn the basic concepts, methods, and tools used in bioinformatics, such as sequence alignment, phylogenetics, gene prediction, genomics, protein structure prediction, expression analysis, systems biology, sequence assembly, and metagenomics.
