BIOL170 PO - Genomics and Transcriptomics with Laboratory

When Offered: Last offered spring 2017.
Instructor(s): D. Martinez
Credit: 1

Intended for upper-level undergraduates, the course will explore transcriptome and genome assembly, gene expression analysis, comparative genomics, gene ontology, genome annotation and other selected topics. Students will gain knowledge of current trends in genomic and transcriptomic science through a review of relevant literature, facilitated by interactive class discussion. The main objective of the course is for students to develop, through experiential learning, the skills to effectively handle and analyze the large sequencing datasets associated with transcriptomic and genomic studies. By the end of the course, students will be able to properly design, execute and analyze both transcriptomic and genomic experiments, with full knowledge of replication considerations, application of appropriate sequencing methods and effort for the question at hand and full critical analysis of the dataset to answer the biological question. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: BIOL 041C PO  or BIOL 041E PO .
