Goals The aim of this course is to teach genomics, proteomics and metabolomics using model organisms representing plants and animals. The course will cover recent developments in genetics, epigenetics, gene expression and mapping genes and online analysis tools.
Course Content Description of the genome, genome studies, examples on model organisms and applications with online analysis tools.
Learning Outcomes 1) Knows what genomics is and structure of the genomics, uses the online analysis tools
2) Knows the differences between eukaryote and prokaryote genome and organisation of the genome
3) Knows definition and History of epigenetics and epigenetic modifications.
