BIO-100E Explorations in Biology: Microbes Rule
A thematic course exploring five fundamental features of all biological systems, including organization, information flow, energy and matter, interactions, and evolution. From early in Earth’s history to the present, microbes have ruled our planet. Recent advances in DNA sequencing reveal a vast, complex and diverse microbial world living around and within us (our personal microbiomes). This course examines the origin, function, and diversity of microbial life on our planet and explores recent discoveries in host-microbiome research.
