Do you ever write messages to your friends using symbols only you and they know? How do you create and transmit the rules to “decode” these messages? Using codes to transmit information isn’t just for sharing the latest news at school – they are also the building blocks of gene expression! Learn the interplay between genetics and genomics. Engage in critical thinking to analyze how principles in this field can be applied to propose solutions to future global issues in medicine, food, and natural resources. Explore new technologies in genomics and predict how they can be used most effectively to mitigate 21st-century problems. *Gifted course, see Admissions Criteria for eligibility requirements.
