The assignments of this course are organized so that later ones build on earlier ones. Each student is expected to maintain a work-folder containing their cumulative work on these assignments. These work-folders will be periodically collected for evaluation.
Much of the information that will be collected during work on assignments can be found in professional literature. It is expected that reported information be properly referenced.
The following standard nucleotide codes may be useful in some of the assignments:
