Crosslistings: MB&B 389 |
The effective completion and success of the human genome project has opened up many new possibilities for research based on DNA and protein sequences. The areas impacted by this research include molecular biology,
biochemistry,
biological chemistry and molecular biophysics.
This course responds to the need for individuals from diverse scientific backgrounds to acquire sufficient knowledge and capabilities in the areas of genomics and related
areas
to engage in related research design and research projects. Intended for an audience of science majors and graduate students, the course will begin with an elementary consideration of fundamental topics in genomics and
proteomics
including analysis of NVA sequence, gene structure, gene function, and related areas elaborating the Genome/Transcriptosome/Proteome paradigm. The course will simultaneously develop hands-on capabilities with emerging
computer
technology and bioinformatics programs used in the areas of genomics and proteomics. Each topic will be illustrated with examples from the very recent scientific literature.
