Learning outcomes

Getting familiar with functional genomics, i.e. application of global (genome-wide or system-wide) experimental approaches to assess gene and protein functions and interactions. Knowledge of analysis methods of functional genomics data and skills to perform simple analyses.

Contents

Genome-wide sequence data (genomics), and their annotation, genome browsers; gene and genome variations; DNA microarrays; proteomics. The main focus is in bioinformatic methods, but the course provides some material to cover the experimental background, too.
