The bioinformatics major offers rigorous, interdisciplinary training in the rapidly growing and evolving field of bioinformatics within the Division of Biological Sciences. The Division of Biological Sciences offers a number of two-unit upper-division seminar courses (numbered 194) designed to provide students with an opportunity to extend what they have learned in upper-division courses by analyzing existing knowledge and contemporary thinking in a particular biological sciences field. All of these majors share a common core of requirements reflecting our philosophy that a foundation of knowledge in certain areas is essential for more specialized knowledge in any area of biology. This course may be counted toward upper-division electives for a biology major. Major topics include sequencing technologies, genome informatics, structural bioinformatics, and transcriptomics. This course begins with an introduction to plant population biology including whole-plant growth and physiology.
