Genomics and Systems Biology is a cutting-edge interdisciplinary field that presents unprecedented opportunities for exploring biology from a unique perspective. This perspective combines reductionist genetics with wholistic systems approaches. Armed with powerful bioinformatics tools, the investigator can build whole system models to discover emergent properties that lie beyond the reach of classical nonintegrative research.
During the Fall 2007 course in Genomics, Proteomics and Systems Biology at Davidson College, led by Dr. Karmella A. Haynes, six Davidson College students used an array of powerful bioinformatics tools to investigate genes that are linked to human diseases. They set out to ellucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the diseases by constructing models that integrate original and published genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics data.
