GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS

Module code: BI416
Credits: 5
Semester: Year-Long
Department: BIOLOGY
International:
Coordinator: Dr Ozgur Bayram (BIOLOGY)

	Overview
	The student will be introduced to genomic and proteomic analysis including structural, functional and comparative genomics, protein-protein interactions and post-translational modification of proteins. The module is divided equally between formal lectures on genomics and proteomics and discussion of current literature examples on the application of genomics and proteomics. NOTE TO VISITING STUDENTS: Module NOT available to students visiting only for Semester 2.

	Learning Outcomes
	On successful completion of the module, students should be able to: Describe DNA sequencing technologies and recent advances for high throughput genomic sequencing. Compare and contrast different methods for functional genomic analysis. Provide examples of how genomics technologies have been applied to improve our understanding of biological systems. Compare and contrast classical approaches to understanding protein structure and function with recent proteomic approaches. Describe proteomic approaches and techniques used to investigate protein structure and function. Explain how specific proteomics techniques can contribute to understanding of biological systems.
