Course Description
The basic principles of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics will be taught through active-learning techniques that include: readings of primary literature, group presentations, peer review, bioinformatic lab exercises, science writing, and web project-based learning experiences. Emphasis will be placed upon how to effectively communicate science (written, oral and written). Topics include: genomic sequencing, phylogeny, domain analysis, transcriptomics, CRISPR screens, chemical genomics, quantitative proteomics and protein networks.
In this project-based learning course you will choose a gene/disease or trait of your choice and work on it all semester. You will learn to present a 30min and also a 12-min talk. You will learn to write a 1-page Specific Aims page of a grant proposal. Lastly, you will publish your work on a website you can cite as a reference in your resume/CV.
This course can fulfill 3 credits of your Genetics Major and is considered a CAPSTONE course
