Introduction to Personal Genomic Analysis, Genomics Laboratory, Part 1

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the analytical methods needed for a genetic evaluation of an anonymized human genomic provided by the instructors. This genome analysis knowledge is ultimately used to complete a Capstone Project ( PMMS 607 ). The objective of this course is for students to become familiar with the format in which a sequenced genome is provided and demonstrate the ability to use publicly available software to manipulate that genome sequence and search for the presence of health-related genetic variants. Prerequisites PMMS 501: Introduction to Genetics and Genomics PMMS 502: Genomics of Rare and Complex Diseases PMMS 503: Introduction to Bioinformatics, Statistics, and Data Interpretation
