Functional Genomics in Principle and Practice

Credit: 3 hours.

Experimental and analytical foundations of functional genomics, tailored to experimental biologists who are using high-throughput sequencing technologies to analyze function in animal genomes. Lectures cover experimental methods and tools available for bioinformatics analysis; students will gain experience in the use of online or command-line bioinformatics tools through weekly assignments. Advanced knowledge in eukaryotic molecular genetics is needed but bioinformatics skills are not required.

3 graduate hours. No professional credit. Students must have access to a networked computer on which they can load software in order to complete required assignments for the course. Prerequisite: MCB 502 or equivalent or consent of instructor.

Section Info:
This course is focused on experimental and bioinformatics tools available for functional genomics, primarily for the analysis of animal genomes with high-throughput sequencing technologies and sequence data analysis, tailored to experimental biologists. Lectures will cover experimental design and methods as well as analytical issues, supported by reading of primary literature. Assignments will include the use of online or command-line bioinformatics tools. Familiarity with eukaryotic molecular genetics is needed but advanced programming skills are not required. This course will meet in the Nevada Building computer lab, 1203 W Nevada St.
