Prereqs - bioinformatics

Prerequisites

Familiarity with the principles of modern molecular biology is required. Completion of "Molecular Biology, Introduction" or an equivalent course within the last five years at another institution, or equivalent experience satisfies this requirement. An understanding of probability and statistics are required for "Statistical Analysis and Modeling for Bioinformatics and Biomedical Applications".

Students without this background should first complete “Probability and Statistics, Introduction,” “Statistical Design of Experiments: A Practical Approach,” or “General Statistics I” and “General Statistics II,” or the equivalent prior to taking “Statistical Analysis and Modeling for Bioinformatics and Biomedical Applications.”

Recommended Course Sequence

Those new to the field of bioinformatics should start with "Bioinformatics Tools, Databases" and "Methods and Experimental Methods in Molecular Biology" (after completing the prerequisite). Courses may then be taken in any sequence, unless otherwise specified in the individual course description.
