CSC 2219 - Introduction to Bioinformatics


Credits: 3

This class is the intersection between volumes of genetic information, information technology, a bit of math and molecular biology. This is an introduction to the processes that are historically, currently and with some effort - possibly predictive expression information of DNA, RNA and proteins found in organisms. Molecular biology topics will be covered beyond the college biology course with the goal to help the student understand what information is available to any cell to adapt to stay alive. This class is designed as a “projects” course where students will work as individuals within teams to answer specific questions. The computing and mathematical processes that allow this work to be completed will be examined to appreciate the thought process required to address specific topics.
