BIOL368/F11:Class Journal Week 1

Zeb Russo

1. I took Biological Databases last year with Dr. Dahlquist so that is how I know about Bioinformatics.
2. I would like to learn how it ties all the -omes together.
3. Well I hope to get a good grade, but I also want to learn about HIV because it is such an important issue in the world today.
4. ...

Robert W Arnold

1. I was referred to Bioinformatics by Dr. Drennan.
2. I am interested to learn much more about genomics.
3. I want to get a good grade while enjoying the material we learn throughout the semester. I hope this class will open my eyes to a side of biology I haven't studied much until now.

Samantha M. Hurndon

1. I was referred to Bioinformatics by Dr. Dahlquist after I took her cell function lecture.
2. I would like to be able to navigate through these computer programs much faster than I do now and I would also like to have a better understand of bioinformatics in general because I feel it is a very important field.
3. I am very excited that we are focusing on HIV, because this is something that I would like to have more knowledge of.

Alex A. Cardenas

1. Dr. Dahlquist informed me of bioinformatics last semester.
2. I would like to learn more about the study and uses of bioinformatics.
3. A goal of mine is to experiment well and to apply bioinformatics to other biology classes that I have experience in.

Isaiah M. Castaneda

1. During Biol 112 lab I heard one of the LMU lab technicians mention something about bioinformatics. Aside from that I had not really heard anything about it.
2. I would like to learn about and how to properly use some of the programs that are prominent in the pursuit of bioinformatics.
3. I hope to do well, properly perform all assigned tasks, add new skills to my repertoire, and learn more about HIV than the average person.
4. Okay! :)

Chris Rhodes

1. My first introduction to bioinformatics was last year working with the genomic sequence of a bacteriophage as part of the HHMI Discovery Lab
2. I'd like to know how bioinformatics can be applied to genetic engineering
3. I hope to gain a deep enough understanding of bioinformatics and data interpretation to be able to successfully apply it to future research and projects. I also hope to get a real research experience out of the class.

Nicolette Harmon

1. I heard about this class through Dr. Dahlquist last semester.
2. I would like to know more about bioinformatics is used by scientists.
3. I hope to get a good grade in this course and to be able to use bioinformatics as a tool in the future.
