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]
