Course Details
• Introduction to Functional Genomics: An overview of functional genomics, its history, and its importance in modern biology. This unit will cover the basics of genomics and the goals of functional genomics research. • Molecular Biology and Genomics Techniques: This unit will delve into the molecular techniques used in genomics research, including PCR, DNA sequencing, microarrays, and next-generation sequencing. • Bioinformatics and Data Analysis: An introduction to bioinformatics and the analysis of large-scale genomic data. This unit will cover data management, statistical analysis, and data visualization techniques. • Epigenetics and Gene Regulation: This unit will explore the role of epigenetics in gene regulation and how functional genomics can help us understand the mechanisms behind it. We will cover DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA. • Transcriptomics and RNA-Seq: An in-depth look at transcriptomics and the use of RNA-Seq to analyze gene expression. This unit will cover library preparation, sequencing, and data analysis. • Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS): This unit will cover GWAS and how it can be used to identify genetic variants associated with complex traits. We will cover study design, data analysis, and interpretation of results. • CRISPR-Cas9 and Genome Editing: An exploration of CRISPR-Cas9 and its use in genome editing. This unit will cover the mechanisms behind CRISPR-Cas9, its applications in functional genomics, and ethical considerations. • Synthetic Genomics and Genetic Engineering: This unit will cover synthetic genomics and the use of genetic engineering to create novel organisms. We will cover the principles of synthetic genomics, its applications in functional genomics, and ethical considerations.
