BI 171 PRINCIPLES OF BIOINFORMATICS II w/LAB



This is the follow up course for BI 170 (Principles of Bioinformatics I). The course covers genomics and proteomics. Genomics is the study of the functions and interactions of the genes in a genome, and proteomics is the study of all the proteins expressed by the genome. Students are introduced to the analysis of complex genomes, DNA sequencing, and acquisition of genetic sequences. The course also covers genome data and exploration of the organization, dynamics, and evolution of genes and genomes. The course includes topics such as microarray technology and its use in molecular profiling, cell expression, cell may and modular proteomics. Students also learn basic technologies used in protein separations as well as detection and protein characterization. Protein purification and analysis such as mass spectrometry, isoelectric point, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, and affinity chromatography are also studied. Lecture 3 hours per week. Lab 3 hours per week. 4 credits. Pre-requisites: BI 120 & BI 170. 4 Credits Prerequisites: BI 120 & BI 170
