该小组的成员致力于了解基因组的结构和功能以及基因和蛋白质之间的进化关系。为了理解这些关系，基因组学研究人员利用计算机科学，数学，统计学和工程学原理来解释基因组数据。研究领域包括比较，功能，保存，种群和计算基因组学，系统基因组学和基因组进化，免疫基因组学和表观基因组学。生物医学基因组学和生物信息学专业的目标是为博士和硕士生做好研究工作的准备，这些工作融合了生物医学的基本原理基因组学和生物信息学与现代生物技术。该学生将与研究生委员会协商，选择其他选修课。
The Biomedical Genomics & Bioinformatics (BG&B) curricular training track prepares BIMS PhD and MS Thesis students for research careers that integrate the basic principles of genetics and genomics with the latest experimental and computational approaches.<br><br>Students in this track explore the principles of genetics and genomics, working with faculty who are engaged in understanding the structure, function, and regulation of genes and entire genomes, connecting genotypes to phenotypes in a diverse array of companion animals, livestock species, animal models, and humans.<br><br>Areas of research include animal disease models, biomedical genomics, comparative/evolutionary genomics, population and conservation genomics, epigenomics, immunogenomics, and livestock and wildlife genomics.
