QBS 146 Foundations of Bioinformatics I

The sequencing of the complete genomes is transforming biology into an information science. This means the modern biologist must possess both computational skills and biological understanding to mine these data for biological insights. Taught mainly from the primary literature, topics will include genome sequencing, genome re-sequencing, high-throughput gene expression, single cell ‘omics, epigenetics, proteomics and systems biology. The course will meet for 3 hrs per week.
