BIOL 260: Introduction to Bioinformatics

(1 unit)
Prerequisites: BIOL 210 or permission of instructor.
This is a hands-on, project-based course designed to provide students with an opportunity to conduct meaningful research projects using web-based bioinformatics tools. In previous projects, students have analyzed the genome of a newly-discovered bacteriophage, which was isolated by an Albion student in a previous semester and have done comparative genomic analyses of a chromosomal region from one or more Drosophila species as part of a larger collaborative genomics project.
