Description: | |||
This unit sets out the basic principles of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics. The major areas covered are: (i) genome sequences - genomic variation, identity and evolution (ii) genome expression - microarrays and proteomics (iii) biomedical genome research - development of vaccines, antibiotics, RNA medicine and genomic ethics (iv) online genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics - a variety of unknown DNAs are isolated, assayed, amplified, sequenced and their sequences analysed using online shareware applications. Instruction employs interesting but complex questions derived from biomedical case studies. Students use bioinformatics to explore the biomedical content and processes contained within each case study.
