Genomics

Advances in molecular biology and computation have propelled the study of genomics forward, including how genes are organized and how their regulation manifests complex phenotypes. A hallmark of genomics is the production and analysis of large data sets. This course will pair an overview of genomics with practical instruction in the analytical techniques required to use it in research and medicine. We will start with a primer on genetics and an introduction to programming using Python. The goal of this course is to provide a foundation for understanding the data heavy experiments that are increasingly common in biomedical research.
