BIO502 : Genomics

Course Overview

Course Synopsis

This course of Genomics is divided into two basic areas: structural genomics, characterizing the physical nature of whole genomes; and functional genomics, characterizing the transcriptome (the entire range of transcripts produced by a given organism) and the proteome (the entire array of encoded proteins).

Course Learning Outcomes

Basic and General Genomics

  • Students who are pursuing this course of genomics will enable themselves to grab the concept of basic and general genomics, in which students learn about the structural genomics, characterizing the physical nature of whole genomes; and functional genomics, characterizing the transcriptome. Other potential topics in the curriculum include a proteome (the entire array of encoded proteins).
