BIOL 104BHuman Genetic Variation Laboratory II
This course together with its companion course BIOL104A provide a supportive research immersion experience and training in computational and experimental approaches in cancer genomics. Instruction in cancer biology, genomics, and applications of genomic analysis for precision medicine is provided. Students work on their own projects to validate genetic variants found in short-read sequencing data in both DNA and RNA. BIOL104A focuses primarily on computational biology research (identification of variants from short-read sequencing data), while BIOL104B focuses on experimental laboratory research to validate these variants using classical molecular biology approaches. Students work on the same variants for both courses.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 104A and satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements. Enrollment is restricted to sophomore, junior, and senior biology B.S. molecular, cell, and developmental biology, and biochemistry and molecular biology majors. Interested students should add to the waitlist. Application will be required. Inquire with Instructor.
