Program Details

Bioinformatics School: University of Saskatchewan Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Bioinformatics Description: There has been an exponential growth in molecular biological knowledge in recent years, thanks to genome sequencing projects and technologies for determining gene expression and protein structures. The tremendous volume and complexity of data has necessitated the development of specialized computational techniques for storing, visualizing, and analyzing them. Certain techniques also require computational techniques in the derivation of data. Such techniques all fall into the realm of Bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is the interdisciplinary meeting point for computer science and molecular biology. It requires understanding of the knowledge domains of biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and probability and statistics. Students interested in entering an Honours program should consult advisors in the department concerned before registering for their second year. Please see the program webpage for curriculum details.
