It uses computer programmes to compare and analyse the sequences of biological molecules, which usually refers to DNA, RNA, or protein. Bioinformatics aims to determine gene and protein functions, reveal evolutionary relationships, predict 3-D structure of proteins, and most importantly to identify the genetic cause of diseases. After completion of this programme, students can pursue further studies in bioinformatics and precision medicine at Master level. The programme aims to provide students with the knowledge of genetics and genomic technologies; the operational skills of Windows and Linux computing environment; and the fundamental programming skills for the analysis of biological and clinical data. It also covers the applications of the software, database, and scripts to identify the genetic cause of diseases. Applicants shall 1. hold a degree in medical laboratory science, biology, medicine or related disciplines from a recognised institution; AND 2. have registered with the Hong Kong Medical Laboratory Technologists Board (MLT Part I or MLT Part II). If the degree or equivalent qualification is from an institution where the language of teaching and assessment is not English, applicants shall provide evidence of English proficiency, such as: 3. an overall band of 6.0 or above with no sub-scores lower than 5.5 in the IELTS; or 4. a score of 550 or above in the paper-based TOEFL, or a score of 213 or above in the computer-based TOEFL, or a score of 80 or above in the internet-based TOEFL; or 5. HKALE Use of English at Grade E or above; or 6. HKDSE Examination English Language at Level 3 or above; or 7. equivalent qualifications.
