BME122: Environmental Virus Bioinformatics

Introduces hypothesis-driven laboratory research. Students use high-throughput sequencing data to assemble, finish, and annotate the genomic sequence of a novel viral genome. Students use both computational and experimental methods to assemble a previously generated sequencing library to produce a high-quality genome sequence. Small teams find and annotate the encoded gene content to construct a complete, publishable genome. Two written projects are required. Prerequisite(s): Biology 20A. Enrollment restricted to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Enrollment by instructor permission only. T. Lowe
