Introduction to Bioinformatics Reports
Welcome to the 'Bioinformatics Reports' Page at NSUWorks. This site is created to showcase undergraduate research in Bioinformatics primarily conducted by students enrolled in the Practicum I & II courses (BIOL 4960 Bioinformatic Methods I; BIOL 4961 Bioinformatic Methods II) and Independent Study in Bioinformatics BIOL 4990. These courses are taught by the by the NSU Halmos College of Arts and Sciences faculty member, Dr. Navi Gill in the Department of Biological Sciences, and are offered every Fall and Winter semester.
The topics of research will include (but not limited to):
Genomics and Bioinformatics
Genome and Gene Evolution
Comparative Genomics
Multi-omics data integration using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
Transposable Elements
Genome Structure and Function
Gene Regulation
Stress responsive gene expression
Epigenetic Modifications
Some of the work published here may also have been presented at various undergraduate research annual meetings as noted and accompanied by abstracts in that case.
