POST-MASTER’S CERTIFICATE IN
SEQUENCE ANALYSIS AND GENOMICS
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The field of bioinformatics is continually expanding and challenging our ability to bridge the gap between molecular biology and computer technology. Specifically, the revolution in sequencing technology has resulted in vast quantities of data that require storage and analysis. The analysis of nucleic acid and protein data requires specialized bioinformatics tools and an understanding of genomics. The emerging sequencing technologies and accompanying bioinformatics tools will advance personalized medicine, pharmacogenomics, and molecular diagnostics methods. The advancement of these tools will open new avenues of research on many fronts. Since the field of bioinformatics has changed so rapidly, there are few scientists that have the necessary training and knowledge in the
new sequencing technologies and analysis of sequence data and genomics. To fill that training gap, we have developed a five course certificate for individuals that have masters or doctoral degrees and need practical training in the bioinformatics tools required for large scale sequence analysis and genomics. This certificate is targeted at scientists who already have grounding in biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology, but need the bioinformatics skills to design experiments and analyze data. The program introduces students to the foundations of bioinformatics through the core bioinformatics courses and then students take upper level courses that are required for understanding and performing sequence and genomic analysis. This program is offered online and onsite.
» Master’s or doctoral degree in the biological sciences or engineering from an accredited institution » One semester of Biochemistry or equivalent or 410.601 » One semester of Molecular Biology or equivalent or 410.602
