BIO378 Biology (Fundamental Bioinformatics)
Course Abstract Bioinformatics is the interdisciplinary application of computational and analytical methods to biological problems. Genome sequencing projects are producing vast amounts of biological data for many different organisms, and storing these data in public databases. This course introduces and explains the basic concepts of molecular biology, covers the background theory, and explains terminology in the life sciences, especially those related to biotechnology, molecular medicine and infectious diseases. Topics covered include: Cells and membrane structure, chemical foundations, gene cloning, DNA sequencing and genomics, protein, control of gene expression, molecular medicine and cancer, recombinant DNA and biotechnology, and cellular metabolism.
