遗传学和基因组科学学士学位

遗传学是所有生物过程的基本方面，并影响我们生活的方方面面。理解和分析基因的功能和行为对于改善人类的生活质量至关重要，并且对我们整个全球生态系统都具有深远的影响。传统上，将遗传学和基因组学研究作为生物科学领域的一门学科已成为传统这是一个涉及多个领域的跨学科练习，包括计算科学和信息系统，它也是研究和培训领域中快速发展的领域。随着越来越多地使用基因检测和全基因组序列信息进行疾病诊断，对合格且经验丰富的遗传学研究人员和健康相关专业人员的需求很高。UAB遗传与基因组科学本科课程（GGS）旨在培养新一代的UAB本科生
Genetics is a fundamental aspect of all biological processes and affects all facets of our lives. Understanding and analyzing the function and behavior of genes is critical to improving the quality of life for human beings and has far-reaching implications for our entire global ecosystem.<br><br>Traditionally viewed as a discipline within biological sciences, today, the study of genetics and genomics is an interdisciplinary exercise that involves multiple fields, including computational sciences and information systems.<br><br>It is also a rapidly advancing field in research and training. With the ever-increasing use of genetic tests, and of whole genome sequence information for disease diagnostics, there is a high demand for qualified and experienced genetics researchers and health-related professionals. The UAB Undergraduate Program in Genetics and Genomic Sciences (GGS) is designed to nurture a new generation of UAB undergraduates who will be ideally equipped to pursue and succeed in a career in academic or government research, medicine, biotechnology in industry, and other health-related sciences.
