Hi everyone,

The Biology Department is offering two classes during intersession:

BIOL 300, Genetics: Genetics is a fundamental part of all areas of modern biological research. In this course, you will learn how genes are inherited and regulated, how genes change, and how changes in genes result in changes in traits. You will discover how these topics relate to the material you learned in previous courses, and how they are applied to questions of human health and modern research. Please email ahaberman@sandiego.edu with any questions. (CRN 59: MTWRF 9 am to 11:50 am)

BIOL 494, Bioinformatics: Are you looking to advance your computer skills and learn a practical skill you can use in research and your career? Take Bioinformatics this January! Look for BIOL494: Special Topics in Biology. This is a two-credit class, and even though it is listed as a lecture, it will mostly be project based. You will learn about genome sequencing technologies, phylogenetics, protein function prediction, and differential expression analysis. Please email chyland@sandiego.edu if you have any questions. (CRN 60: MTWR & F 1/10 only 1 pm to 3:10 pm)

Please let us know if you have any questions!
