This course introduces fundamental concepts and tools in genomics and diseases to provide students with a foundation for doing innovative research. The course emphasizes on various types of functional genomic data available and current methods for interpreting and integrating the data to make inferences about cellular function and diseases. Topics covered include an introduction to genomics and diseases, genomic sequencing, assembly and annotation, transcriptomics, proteomics, and application of genomic approaches in diseases.

CILO-1: Explain the fundamental concepts of functional genomics and systems biology. CILO-2: Apply to analyze large-scale genomic datasets. CILO-3: Formulate genome-related hypothesis and design an experimental plan for testing and analysis. CILO-4: Critically evaluate genomic and computational biology literature.
