    Credit Hours: 3.00. (C S 478 and STAT 478) Bioinformatics is broadly defined as the study of molecular biological information, targeting particularly the enormous volume of DNA sequence and functional complexity embedded in entire genomes. Topics will include understanding the evolutionary organization of genes (genomics), the structure and function of gene products (proteomics), and the dynamics of gene expression in biological processes (transcriptomics). Inherently, bioinformatics is interdisciplinary, melding various applications of computational science with biology. This jointly taught course introduces analytical methods from biology, statistics and computer science that are necessary for bioinformatics investigations. The course is intended for junior and senior undergraduates from various science backgrounds. Our objective is to develop the skills of both tool users and tool designers in this important new field of research. .

  • 3.00 Credits

    Credit Hours: 3.00. This course presents the fundamental concepts of classical and modern molecular genetics in eukaryotic systems, using examples from the model genetic organisms, yeast, Drosophila, Caenorhabditis, Arabidopsis, maize, mice and humans. These concepts are applied to solving problems of genetic analysis. Recent advances in developmental, cancer, and behavioral genetics and genomics, and applications of genetic technology, are used to demonstrate the impact that modern genetics makes at the cutting edge of biological research.

  • 3.00 Credits

    Credit Hours: 3.00. Concerned with the application of ecological principles to environmental issues, the course introduces fundamental ecology, emphasizing the interplay of theoretical models, natural history, and experimentation. New research developments are stressed, with the outlook for application to environmental management and restoration. Whole-biosphere issues, such as the loss of biological diversity, frame a focus at the population level to understand local and global extinction and community stability. In-depth case studies of endangered ecosystems (both temperate and tropical), with computer modeling, field trips, and discussions of policy formulation, demonstrate the range of tools and information necessary to accomplish coexistence of humans with the rest of nature.
