Course guide for Genomics (MSMS 6211, BCOR 5585)

Genomics
MSMS 6211, BCOR 5585
Fall 2024


The primary goal of this course is to introduce and describe the latest advances in molecular biology, genomics, computational biotechnology, and their interrelationships to all biology and human society through classroom and computer exercises. We will review milestone discoveries, which led to the rise of genomics science, characteristics of the wide spectrum of different genomes (prokaryotic, eukaryotic and organellar), and innovative molecular techniques and tools (e.g. high throughput DNA sequencing, CRISPRs) used to study and manipulate genomes. We will study genomes including their architecture in different organisms and the gene products that underlie development and basic metabolism. Genomics will also be viewed in the context of “Big Data” sets, and its integration with computational methods. The impact of genomics on human health (personalized medicine, diagnostics and new treatments to cure genetic diseases), ecology, ethical issues and problems will be discussed in depth.
