Animal Microbiomes

Catalog description

This course will be focused on three main aspects of the application of 'Omics' techniques in research to answer real-world problems. Students will be introduced to the concepts of multiple 'Omics' techniques, study designs, and data analysis methods. The roles played by the microbiome in different species will be discussed. Those concepts will then be put into practice through appraisal of primary literature. By the end of the semester, students will be able to apply the concepts learned to discuss scientific literature and be familiar with data analysis techniques.
