Course Objectives: | The objective of this course is to provide information about the "omics" technology, especially focusing on genomics and proteomics. The recent applications of these areas and relevant bioinformatics background will be discussed. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Define the "omics" technologies. 2. Discuss the technologies behind genomics and proteomics studies. 3. Discuss the applications of both structural and functional genomics and also the proteomics studies. 4. Define basic information about bioinformatics. 5. Recognize the importance of these technologies in modern genetics. |
Computational, molecular and genetic methodologies are covered including applications in structural and functional genomics (genome analysis and comparative genomics, technologies for transcriptional profiling), proteomics and related bioinformatics. |
