Filtered introduces students and teachers to the biological concepts and logical thinking skills used in the bioinformatics analysis of human and viral genomes. Bioinformatics employs computational tools to store, manage and query biological data, weaving together engineering, biology, computer science, statistics and mathematics. It is a key component of modern clinical research and patient care.

Filtered allows students to approach real-world problems using 21st century skills, pulling multiple lines of evidence from molecular biology, human genetics, population biology and evolution as they draw connections between their classroom lessons, personal interests and present-day applications.
