Graduate Course Offered at H-12 Campus
Introduction
Bioinformatics is the science of
managing and analyzing large-scale
molecular biology data. The course is
designed to identify interesting
patterns and complex behaviors
within living systems that would be
difficult or impossible to see without
the use of computers in combination
with biology and statistics.
