BIO 343 - Laboratory Methods in Genomics

In this lab-only course, students participate in a real genome sequencing project (sequencing performed off-site). Students analyze sequences and annotate genes in the genome. This original research is computer intensive and contributes to the growing body of knowledge in genomics. Students participate in collaborative research projects and generate reports of their findings. May be taken simultaneously with BIO 309.

Counts as an elective in the Data Science interdisciplinary minor.

Prerequisites & Notes
Successful completion of BIO 111/113 and 112/114, plus one of the following:  BIO 201, 202, 208/238, 209, 303, 306/336, 307/337, 309, or 333 are required. Satisfies group A only in combination with BIO 309.

Spring 2021
This course will be taught entirely online through synchronous zoom sessions and Moodle. If you cannot make the synchronous sessions sue to time zone or other constrains, asynchronous options will be offered. Throughout the course we will be working on an original research project computationally analyzing genomic data. No prior computational expertise required or expected.
