| FS 58100 - Microbial Genomics And Metabolism |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. Microbial genomics and metabolism will introduce students to how genomes are assembled, how microbial functional predictions are made, and how systems biology techniques are used to query microbial function in diverse ecosystems. Students will participate in activities including classroom lecture, group discussion, reading of primary literature, hands-on computational assignments, exams, and student projects. Basic knowledge of microbiology and molecular biology is expected. Permission of department required.
