Course Outcomes

  • CO1: Describe the scope and significance of bioinformatics, including types of biological databases and sequence formats (FASTA, GenBank).
  • CO2: Retrieve and submit DNA, RNA, and protein sequences using online databases and tools; explain applications of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics.
  • CO3: Perform pairwise and multiple sequence alignments and construct basic phylogenetic trees using tools like BLAST, CLUSTALW, and MEGA.
  • CO4: Demonstrate understanding of molecular docking and the basic principles of computer aided drug discovery.
  • CO5: Apply statistical methods such as measures of central tendency, dispersion, t-test, chi square, and ANOVA to analyze biological data.
  • CO6: Use SPSS and other software tools (e.g., ExPASy, RasMol) for biological data analysis and visualization.
