Upon successful completion of this course, the student should 
be able to:
• Compare, contrast and evaluate genome technologies to achieve 
varying goals.
• Locate and critically evaluate studies using genome 
technologies from the current literature.
• Acquire instrumentation for use in a collaborative research 
environment.
• Write an equipment grant proposal.

• Animal Genomes – Structure, Function, and Biochemistry 
• Animal Transcriptomes – Structure, Function, and Biochemistry
• Bacterial Cloning and Libraries
• Genome Mapping
• Sanger-Sequencing
• Capillary Electrophoresis
• Parallelization, Pooling and Automation
• Next Generation Sequencing
• Single Nucleotide Polymorphism – Discovery and Genotyping
• BioInformatics and Computational Resources

This course is intended for graduate students at any level and 
from any field of study with an interest in genome 
technologies. Course will emphasize techniques and examples 
from current literature. Course will emphasize techniques used 
in human, animal, ecological, and plant based research that are 
not or are only minimally covered in other courses at UGA. 
Microbial genomes will be covered, but will not be emphasized 
as these are the focus of other courses available at UGA.

UGA Student Honor Code: "I will be academically honest in all 
of my academic work and will not tolerate academic dishonesty 
of others." A Culture of Honesty, the University's policy and 
procedures for handling cases of suspected dishonesty, can be 
found at www.uga.edu/ovpi. Students are expected to be familiar 
with and adhere to all aspects of this policy.
