Description

This laboratory course provides a hands-on, inquiry-based, laboratory experience for undergraduate science majors. The laboratory has four major goals: 1) Reinforce and extend the theoretical concepts from the lecture; 2) Connect biological concepts with practical bioinformatics tools and databases; 3) Expose students to computational concepts far more powerful than point-and-click web-based bioinformatics tools; 4) Provide important skills that are widely used in real-world biological and biomedical research. Each week's lab focuses on a particular topic that is closely related to the lecture. After a brief overview by the laboratory instructor, students will run computational bioinformatics experiments and collect the results. After the labs, students will write short lab reports.

Prerequisites

BIOL 252 OR BIOL 254 AND BIOL 210 OR BIOL 212 AND BIOL 360
