Functional Genomics: Methods and Applications

Catalog description

Genetic variation, gene expression and regulation at the epigenome, chromatin organization level, and link between gene and protein expression covered. Case studies covered: study of cancer and cancer-associated processes, neuro-biology, and organismal development. The presented methods study these events at the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome levels.Approaches that increase the resolution of functional genomic assays to the level of individual cells, spatial profiling, integration with genetic and chemical screening methods, and their application to chemical genomic approaches also studied. Programming assignments and a final project required
