  • BIO 471: Genomics and Bioinformatics

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    (same as CSC 471) Prerequisites: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher); prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 211, BIO 221, BIO 231. (Note: For students who enroll in CSC 471 only BIO 185 and CSC 230 or 250 are prerequisites.) This course will cover theoretical and practical components of genomics and bioinformatics. The major topics will include mapping and sequencing genomes, sequence alignment of nucleic acids and proteins, haplotype maps, analysis of complex traits, parallel profiling of gene expression, proteomics, phylogenetic analysis, and data mining. The laboratory will begin with the in silico analysis of gene families, continue to the formulation of a testable hypothesis about gene function, writing a mini-grant for peer review, testing of the hypothesis in a model organism, and conclude with a formal presentation of the data generated during the semester. This course is best suited for undergraduates who wish to continue with a career in basic science or biomedical research.

  • BIO 480: Neurobiology

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    Prerequisite: BIO 211; prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 221, BIO 231. A detailed examination of nervous system function at the cellular, molecular, system and organismal level, including neuronal signaling and synaptic transmission, sensory and motor systems, sensorimotor integration, synaptic plasticity in learning and memory and mechanisms of neural development. Emphasis will be placed on how elements of the nervous system interact to produce or modify behavior. In the laboratory component of this course, students will work in small research teams to conduct open-ended multi-week research projects of their own design, using the crayfish tail as a model neural system.
