Program Information

Bioinformatics and Genetics undergraduate program conducts experimental and practical studies on biological systems, especially living things and the environment in which they live. It gathers the information of these studies and transfers them to digital media, processes them using computer algorithms within the framework of systematic and statistical analysis, and produces analysis models to understand living organisms. Besides, it examines the DNA, the genetic code of life, to provide theoretical and practical information on sequencing analysis and genetic manipulations. The obtained data allows understanding the systems that make up life and create healing mechanisms by targeting malfunctions in these systems. Hence, this discipline contributes, directly or indirectly, to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In addition, it aims to train individuals who can produce new and unique bioinformatics tools and integrate these tools with today's health technologies.
