| Course ID: | FANR(BINF)(GENE) 8140. 3 hours. |
| Course Title: | Functional Genomics |
Course
Description: | Fundamentals and practical applications of functional genomics
in biological research. Lecture- and paper-based discussion on
topics including gene discovery, genome sequencing, transcript
profiling by microarray, and next-generation sequencing (RNA-
Seq), regulation of gene expression, forward and reverse
genetics, proteomics, metabolomics, correlation network
analysis, and ecological genomics. |
| Oasis Title: | FUNCT GENOMICS |
Semester Course
Offered: | Offered spring semester every year. |
| Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
|
| Course Objectives: | The course objective is to expose graduate students to an
in-depth examination of new and emerging genomics technologies
and their applications in the life sciences. At the conclusion
of the course, students are expected to be familiar with various
functional genomics tools and approaches, and to have an
understanding of their utility when integrated with other
research disciplines (e.g., genetics, physiology, biochemistry,
ecology). |
