Genomics for Biomedical Scientists: Handle your Gene Expression Data

Third-cycle level | 3.0 credits (HEC) | Course code: C1F3230

Course description

This course is designed to give students an introduction to genomic approaches in gene regulation. The emphasis is that the students learn to apply genomic tools in their research without prior knowledge in computational biology. Particular attention will be paid to the understanding of advantages and limitations of those approaches, and applications to the study of human disease. The course will include both lectures and hands-on data analysis session, and provide the students tools to successfully navigate through the jungle of public available genomewide datasets.
