About the course

Each living organism has a genome containing the genetic information that determines how it will grow and develop. Genomics is the study of genomes and includes topics like DNA structure and function, high-throughput sequencing and computational comparison of the genomes of different organisms. The field of genomics is growing rapidly and has applications to cancer biology, agriculture, marine science and more. Students with a degree in genomics are well-prepared for graduate or professional school and employment in academic or industry research labs, government labs or the biotechnology industry. The genomics degree program at UNH provides training in genome analysis, evolutionary genetics and computer programming for bioinformatics, as well as cutting-edge genomic analysis methods for bacteria and eukaryotes. The Hubbard Center for Genome Studies and Research Computing Center provide opportunities for students to learn genomic and bioinformatic techniques using state-of-the-art technology. Many students gain hands-on experience working on research projects in faculty labs.
