BIOL 4510K: Bioinformatics II

4 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: BIOL 4500K
This course emphasizes the principles of laboratory generation, bioinformatics and other computational analysis, and practical application of results from real-world data drawn from genomics-level research projects at KSU and elsewhere. Students will perform genome-wide association studies, assemble transcriptomes, quantitate and visualize differential expressions, and analyze cellular interaction networks. Students will use data that spans and integrates many levels of biological organization, multiple ‘kingdoms,’ and diverse applications (e.g., human health, agriculture, industrial microbial processing).
