BI 602: Journal Club

 

What is the Bioinformatics Journal Club?

Bioinformatics Journal Club entails a weekly discussion of current and classic papers concerning biology on a whole-genome scale, or using genome sequence based approaches. It is a great opportunity for students/ researchers to be exposed to current topics of Bioinformatics. Although the presentations are on a volunteer basis, participants are encouraged to present.


Who Can Join?

Anyone interested in Bioinformatics and its current applications to the life sciences is welcome to participate in the Journal Club. We especially urge the students in the Bioinformatics program to participate.

Students can enroll in Bioinformatics Journal Club (BI 602) for one credit. Attendance and presentation are mandatory for BI 602 students.


When and Where are Journal Club Meetings?

Winter 2004:
Meeting schedule: Mondays from 12 PM to 1PM in Room 5631 Medical Science II building. (Bioinformatics Computer Lab)
