Biodiversity and Genomics: Exploring the Marine Animal Diversity of Woods Hole Using Molecular Tools
Course Code
BIOS 27723 97
Course Description
In this course, you will have the opportunity to explore the large diversity of marine animal species in Woods Hole, Massachusetts and its surroundings. We will combine fieldwork with genomic and bioinformatic approaches to study different aspects of the evolution, ecology, taxonomy, physiology, and biogeography of marine animals in this unique location. You will integrate knowledge and analytical tools from different biological disciplines to develop short research projects. During the three weeks of the course, you will have access to the Marine Biological Laboratory's collection of living marine animals, participate in ongoing research projects at MBL, and contribute data that will advance our understanding of marine biodiversity.
This course is only open to University of Chicago students.
Course Criteria
Course meets for three weeks at Marine Biological Laboratories, in Woods Hole Massachusetts.
Lab and lecture times will be coordinated on site.
