Honors Bioinformatics is an essential course for careers in healthcare, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries. Bioinformatics is a powerful set of tools at the crossroads of big data and genetics. The course explores the computer-based tools that help us investigate links between genes, proteins, genetic techniques, and disease. Topics in this course include precision medicine, DNA and genes, medical research, NCBI databases, and genetic engineering. Honors Genetics and Bioinformatics is a two-semester course.

**Pending School Board approval, the course name will be changed to HN Genetics and Bioinformatics for 2025-26.**
