Abstract

In this article undergraduate-level bioinformatics curriculum that is easily tailored to the needs and resources of various institutions are discussed. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary and rapidly evolving field that has emerged from the fields of biology, chemistry, and computer science. Bioinformatics research explores the functional relationships between the composition of the genes within the context of the genome and the structure and function of the proteins encoded by these genes. This model will serve as a framework for and guide towards the rapid development of bioinformatics programs that capitalize on tile strengths of their specific institution
