Master of Science [M.S] [Bioinformatics, Animal Sciences] From University of Illinois

The genomic and proteomic projects are generating large amounts of complex biological data that require effective storage, retrieval, analysis, and interpretation. The bioinformatics degree program provides students with the skills necessary to augment the understanding and use of agricultural, biological, and medical information and resources through the application of molecular, chemical, physical, computational, statistical, mathematical, and informatic techniques.?

Graduates from the Master of Science in Bioinformatics Animal Sciences concentration program will be able to integrate basic and applied concepts in the areas of bioinformatics, biology, computer science, and statistics and apply them to biotechnology and medical research.
