The BSC CODE Project
Not published to students
Current
Project CODE is a course based on the Characterizing Our DNA Exceptions (CODE) project developed at Hudson Alpha. This course is designed to introduce basic concepts, methods, and tools used in bioinformatics. Through the use of computational analyses, students will be able to determine the biological relevance of DNA changes, also known as variants. Topics will include but are not limited to basic biological concepts as they relate to genes, gene expression, gene mutations, and genetic diseases, databases, sequence alignment tools, homology searches, and protein-protein interaction. Emphasis will be placed on understanding and applying these concepts during independent research projects conducted.
