Description: Biological information is coded in and expressed from genomes. This course explores methods for detecting structural and functional elements of genomes, plus the wider genome biology of eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems. Students will learn how genomic data is generated and analysed, how genomes evolve, and how genomic information is expressed and regulated.

Reviews

The lab course is the best part of this course. The first half was based in practical DNA synthesis and recombinant expression, lots of fun! The second half is much more computational, but the concepts are straightforward if you are comfortable with basic statistical ideas. The lecture course taught by Austen is exceptional; other lecturers in the course were less effective in communicating what is "important" and how the concepts fit together.
