Description

BIOL335 introduces students to the biology and evolution of genomes from across the tree of life, including the human genome and the genetics of human disease. It provides up-to-date knowledge of high throughput methods used in genome sequencing, genome-wide association studies and the study of gene expression. The course also provides students with a strong foundation in bioinformatics as a scientific discipline and as a set of practical tools for analysing and studying genomic data.
