I was wondering if you could possibly share a class I am co-teaching with the undergraduate mailing list. Here is the information, we would greatly appreciate the help!



6.S096 Biological Digital Computation

Sebastian Palacios and Joy Fan

Meets January 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. 11am-1pm in 32-124



Preregister on WebSIS and attend first class. Listeners allowed, space permitting.



Prereq: none



Level: U 3 unites Graded P/D/F



Introduces paradigms in biological digital computation and its use to program biological systems. Studies concepts and techniques used to design and engineer digital computation and digital circuits in living cells. Covers material in molecular and cell biology, synthetic biology and digital design. Discusses biological digital circuits in bacteria, yeast, and human cells. Instructor-assisted laboratory exercises provide computational experience with biological digital circuit design, human cell engineering, CRISPR/Cas9 for genome editing, and machine learning for biological design. This course does not require prior knowledge of biology, digital circuit design or machine learning.
