Biological Data Visualization

The efficient preparation of biological datasets for visualization is necessary to create clear static and interactive charts for scientific communication. Students develop competencies in chart selection, tidy data practices, appropriate use of color and scale, and accessible design. Learners construct heatmaps for high-dimensional data, network and interaction graphs, time-series and comparative plots, and assemble interactive dashboards with effective annotations and filters—building a reproducible, audience-appropriate visualization skill set for research and decision support.

Registration in this course is restricted to students admitted to the Data Visualization in Biological Sciences program.

Prerequisite(s): An "S" grade in BINF 3010.
