Studying HIV evolution within and between patients
This session will focus on two teaching modules that use the Biology Workbench,
an online bioinformatics tool, to analyze two sets of HIV sequence data from
the scientific literature. We will use this data to study the relationship between
viral evolution and patient immunological function, and to investigate the source
of a patient's HIV infection using data from an actual court case.

During this session we will investigate two activities the incorporate image
analyses, mathematics, and biological studies. The activities we will study
the use of fractal dimension in of bacterial growth and growth of bread mold
to demonstrate models of growth. |
