Bioinformatics in Biology Education:

        Working with Sequence, Structure, and Function

JCCC, in partnership with Rockhurst University, offered a short course on bioinformatics.  This short course focued on several different ways that the analysis of molecular data is being applied to solve current biological problems in areas such as medicine, agriculture, conservation, and evolution. The relationships between evolutionary theory and the analysis of molecular sequence and structure data were addressed. A wide range of sub-disciplines that use bioinformatic analysis were drawn upon.  The laboratory sessions dealt with medical, cell biology, and conservation examples. The workshop is designed for biologists, chemists, mathematicians, and computer scientists.  For more details, visit the BEDROCK home page and follow the Workshops link to explore recent workshops.
