BIOL 3330 - Fundamentals of Bioinformatics

Institution:

Southern Utah University

Subject:

Biology

Description:

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that applies statistical and computational techniques to analyze large biological datasets. This course covers three core areas in bioinformatics: command-line computing, biological data management, and computer programming. Students will gain hands-on experience with high-level programming languages, including Bash, SQL, and Python, to parse, modify, and analyze data from DNA, RNA, and protein sequencing. Together, these skills provide a foundation for understanding how biological information is organized, processed, and interpreted within the biomedical sciences and the biotechnology workforce. (Fall) [Graded Letter) Three (3) hours of lecture per week. A minimum grade of "C" (2.0) or above must be earned in this course before it can be counted in a biological science major or minor or as a prerequisite for any other biology course. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 3060 and BIOL 3065 - Prerequisite Min. Grade: C
