Spring 2027

Genomics and Proteomics

The basic principles of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics will be taught through a semester-long project of the students choosing. Creative problem solving in science skills will be learned through a variety of active-learning techniques that include: reading of primary literature, group presentations, peer review, bioinformatic lab exercises, science communication skills (writing visualization), and creating a website. Emphasis will be placed upon how to effectively communicate science (written, oral and written). Topics include: genomic sequencing, phylogeny, domain analysis, transcriptomics, CRISPR screens, chemical genomics, quantitative proteomics and protein networks. Capstone course.

Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2024: 3.69 GPA, 83.3% A/AB (n=18 letter grades); Spring 2025: 3.60 GPA, 66.7% A/AB (n=15 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.67 GPA, 75.0% A/AB (n=12 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Gain confidence in modern genomic and proteomic experimental methods used to ask fundamental biological questions and how to become creative problem solvers.

  • Learn how to mine bioinformatic databases to obtain information about a gene/protein associated with a human disease assembled on a website built by the student.

  • Learn how to apply what you learned, by writing and visualizing three specific aims of a grant with goals to address the gap in knowledge about the disease and gene of your choosing.

  • Effectively communicate scientific research by applying unique visual, verbal, and oral techniques facilitated by the instructor called “Slide Evolution”.

  • To learn how working in diverse teams (social and intellectual) makes you a more innovative problem solver.

About this rating

Raw average: 5.00/5 from 5 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.
