This research-focused course uses bacteriophage genomics to introduce biology as an experimental science. Students learn computational biological techniques through annotation and characterization of novel viral genomes. Students will be introduced to concepts in bioinformatics, microbiology, evolution, and molecular biology through hands-on experiments driven by results obtained during class.
BIOLOGY 153 w/ C Students who have not taken the pre-requisite course (Biol 297P) may contact the instructor for permission to enroll.
