Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2574 DNA sequencing and high-throughput experiments generate huge amounts of biological data, which biologists explore with computational tools. This course serves as a general introduction to such programing by applying the Python programing language to experimental evolutionary biology. We will use programming skills to investigate how evolution can modify populations in specific ways; students will build a computational, evolutionary 'reactor' in which simulated RNA molecules fold into 3D shapes, mutate, reproduce, and evolve as a population.; Pre-requisite(s): No prerequisites, but anti-requisite of: CMSC 105 / 107; Bryn Mawr's CMSC 110; or placement into a higher course than CMSC 105.; Lottery Preference: First-year students, then second-year students, then third year students. ; Enrollment Limit: 25.00 Natural Science, C: Physical and Natural Processes (; Hav: NA, C) |
