Omics-enabled Biotechnology

Catalog description

Integrates genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, and proteomic approaches to quantify and understand intricate biological systems. Complementary bioinformatics approaches to curate the large datasets associated with these experiments will also be discussed. Recent examples from the literature will reinforce core concepts, ranging from applications to human health to the environment. By the end of the course, students should be able to design an integrated experiment that capitalizes on these omics-based approaches to enhance the scope of their research.
