Gene Quest: Exploring Genetic Traits through Bioinformatics

Background

Gene Quest” offers students a chance to dive into the world of genetics and bioinformatics by investigating genetic traits and their variations. This project combines biology with data analysis, enabling students to explore how genetic information is expressed and influences physical traits. Through bioinformatics tools, students will analyze genetic sequences and understand the role of genetic variation in biology.

Learning Outcome (LO)

  • LO #1: Gain a solid understanding of genetic principles and bioinformatics techniques, including the use of computational tools to analyze genetic data.
  • LO #2: Develop skills in statistical analysis and data interpretation.
  • LO #3: Appreciate the role of genetic variation in biological diversity and disease susceptibility, fostering interest in genetics, medicine, or bioengineering.
