3.00 Credits
This studio course covers concepts and methods related to information processing in biological systems. Concepts covered include homology, identity, and similarity; mechanisms and measures of molecular evolution; introduction to databases (e.g., GenBank, PDB); search algorithms (BLAST and FASTA); pairwise sequence alignment using dynamic programming (Gap, BestFit); progressive methods for multiple alignment (Pileup, ClustalW); and special topics in sequence analysis. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: BIOL 1010, college-level math, or permission of the instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This studio course covers use of homology to extract information about structure and function from amino acid sequences. Concepts covered include structural homology, structural motifs and databases, homology modeling of macromolecules, energy minimization and relaxation, water considerations, molecular docking and molecular dynamics. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: BIOL 6410 and BIOL 4760 or BCBP 4760 or CHEM 4760 or equivalent, or permission of instructor. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
1.00 Credits
An intensive course designed to provide instruction and stimulate discussion on important topics in biological research. It is loosely divided into 4 modules: 1) ethics, writing, and basic biology tools; 2) structural and computational biology; 3) protein and carbohydrate structure and function; 4) microbiology, ecology, and evolution. Students will gain a fundamental understanding of major topics in biology through formal didactic instruction and selected readings from the primary literature. When Offered: Fall term. Credit Hours: 4

3.00 Credits
An intensive course designed to provide instruction and stimulate discussion on important topics in biological research. It is loosely divided into 3 modules: 1) molecular biology; 2) cell biology; and 3) neuroscience. Students will gain a fundamental understanding of major topics in biology through formal didactic instruction and selected readings from the primary literature. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: This is a continuation of the fall course BIOL 6963. When Offered: Spring term.
-
3.00 Credits
Characterization of patterns and changes in patterns of protein expression with development, aging, and disease. Protein separation and quantification strategies; mass spectrometry and analysis of spectra; protein profiling, biomarkers, post-translational modifications; current applications; emerging technologies and applications. Individual presentations on relevant topics will be expected. (Students cannot obtain credit for this course and BCBP-4640, BIOL-4640 or BCBP-6640.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BCBP 4760 or equivalent. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of applied aspects of microbiology including the application of microorganisms in industrial processes and the roles played by microorganisms in the environment. Emphasis is placed on ways in which microorganisms can be manipulated and controlled for human advantage. Current literature regarding manipulation and regulation of microbial activities is discussed. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 2310 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Spring term even-numbered years. Credit Hours: 3
-
