Introduction to Bioinformatics, Statistics, and Data Interpretation

Catalog description

Obtaining patient ‘omics data is a first step in precision medicine. Subsequent computational and analytical methods are required to decipher these data. This course focuses on the analysis of ‘omics data sets using bioinformatics and statistical tools. Students are introduced to the use of open access software to analyze provided data sets and learn to interpret the results. The objective of this course is to provide students with the basic skills needed to work with and derive valuable information from complex data sets produced by ‘omics analyses. Prerequisites PMGC 501: Introduction to Genetics and Genomics PMGC 502: Genomics of Rare and Complex Diseases
