Course Goals
- Demonstrate laboratory skills required of a modern-day molecular biologist in the era of next-generation sequencing. This includes keeping detailed and accurate laboratory notes (e.g., electronic records for sequence analyses) and choosing and using an appropriate sequence analysis tool.
- Read a scientific article and evaluate how bioinformatics methods were employed by the authors to explore a particular hypothesis. [from CourseSource framework]
- Given a scientific question, develop a hypothesis and define computational approaches that could be used to explore the hypothesis. [from CourseSource framework]
- Use pre-existing tools to analyze a metagenomic data set to determine the set of organisms present in a metagenomic sample (e.g., 16s rRNA, Greengenes, mothur, etc.). [from CourseSource framework]
- Interpret and identify limitations related to metagenomic surveys.
- Design a critical thinking scenario and explain analyses for hypothesis testing of metagenomic data. [BIT 577]
