Bioinformatics at UC Santa Cruz
Program overview
The Department of Biomolecular Engineering offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees and a minor in bioinformatics.
Bioinformatics combines mathematics, science, and engineering to explore and understand biological data from high-throughput experiments, such as genome sequencing and gene expression chips. The program builds on the research and academic strengths of the faculty in the Center for Biomolecular Science & Engineering. One notable output from our research is that UCSC is the primary release site for the public version of the human genome: http://genome.ucsc.edu. We are also a major player in protein-structure prediction: protein-prediction servers.
