| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1134 Microbes live and grow in environments that include other microbes; how do these microbe-microbe interactions change microbial genomes (through evolution) and change the composition of communities (through ecological dynamics)? Laboratory work will focus on pathogen and commensal Streptococcus species to investigate how cells communicate with each other, how they exchange genes, and how they produce toxins that modify their surrounding community. Bioinformatic approaches will examine evolution within and between bacteria species, while computational approaches will investigate fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. Exploration of the primary literature and various opportunities to hone scientific communication skills will supplement lab work.; Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.
