The goal of this course is to introduce the application of information technology to the study of biological sciences. The students will explore how computer resources and software tools are used to analyze and interpret biological data from animals, plants, and bacteria. Topics range from discussing cutting-edge technologies to the “hands-on” utilization of computer databases and bioinformatics tools. Students will access major bioinformatics websites to learn how to use these resources. No programing knowledge is required for this course.
