荣誉生物信息学理学学士学位-密西沙加

生物信息学涉及基因和基因组序列以及功能基因组数据的计算分析。它是一门跨学科的科学，需要计算机科学和分子生物学的强大背景
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary science that combines Biology, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics and Chemistry. Bioinformatics is the managing of large amounts of biological information generated from research using advanced computational methods/programs.<br><br>The Specialist program includes various courses in genetics and molecular biology which will put into context the vast amounts of genomic data and how it is isolated, sequenced and analyzed. Furthermore, the computer science courses will give you the foundation to write your own computer programs as needed to analyze large amounts of data that would not be able to be done by hand in a timely manner. This program also provides a solid foundation in mathematics and statistics that will also help you to design and analyze experiments.<br><br>Bioinformatics is used in research that looks at the genetic make-up of an entire organism. Some of its many applications are in medicine or biology.<br><br>This program is offered through the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences.
