| BCHM 52100 - Comparative Genomics |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. The course provides an understanding of the forces that act on genome content and organization, and the ability to interpret genetic variation between genomes. Students will acquire skills to utilize public genome databases, visualize genomic regions/features of interest using a genome browser, and perform phylogenetic analysis. The knowledge gained is central within the fields of genetics, bioinformatics, microbiology, and evolutionary biology and have important applications in numerous related fields including medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, and ecology.
