  • BIOL 5140: Genome Biology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    The sequence of the human genome, and that of other animals and plants, highlights the rapid progress in genomics, the study of the DNA sequence and genes of an organism. This course will examine recent findings in the field, with an emphasis on how advances in genomics are revolutionizing the ways by which we assign functions to sequence and genes. While human genomics will feature prominently, examples will be selected from diverse organisms to illustrate basic principle. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in BIOL 2030.

  • BIOL 5270: Microbial Ecosystems

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Microorganisms run the world. They are the foundation of every habitat on earth, from our bodies to the deep sea. The aim of this course is to train students to appreciate the fundamental microbial processes that are at the heart of many pressing medical and environmental issues today. The course is inherently interdisciplinary and will involve concepts in microbiology, genomics, ecology, evolution, and biogeochemistry. Students with any interest in medical, molecular, environmental, or evolutionary aspects of microbiology are welcome. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010).
