BIO-106 — Phage Bioinformatics
This is the second course of a two-course student-led, hands-on, biology research project involving bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria). This course introduces students to the fields of genomics and bioinformatics. Students will analyze and annotate the genomes of previously isolated novel bacteriophages using bioinformatics software. The annotated genome sequences will be reviewed and submitted to GenBank, the NIH (National Institutes of Health) collection of all publicly available DNA sequences. 2/2/0
