What is Bioinformatics and what are some of the tools? This lab is divided into a 1hr lecture and a 1hr lab assignment. A description of the lab was created specifically for this module that defines bioinformatics and introduces concepts such as pairwise sequence alignments, database searching, and open reading frame prediction. The assignment at the end of the lab document places the student in a genome sequencing lab as a bioinformatician whose responsibility is to assembly reads, identify reading frames in the assembled contig, and blasting the potential genes against a protein database such as UniProt or ExPASy. |

Would like to create more modules that biology and computer science professors could implement into their classes to expose undergraduate students to bioinformatics. |
