Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the course is to deepen students' knowledge in the field of genomics and genetics, new methods for genome analysis, data analysis and interpretation. In addition, this knowledge and skills will be further enhanced in a direction that is in line with the specific focus of its Ph.D. studies and dissertation work.

Summary

The subject focuses on the current quantitative understanding of human genetics and computational interdisciplinary research in genetics. Students will learn how to design, perform and analyze experiments to evaluate complex genome changes, gene expression and transcription factors activity. They will learn how to work with DNA sequences (contig assemblage, polymorphism identification, sequence annotation). Annotated sequences in public databases will then be used to analyze unknown sequences, identify them, or determine their function based on similarity to known sequences. Mutual sequence comparisons will allow identification of mutations and their impact in the form of genetically-mediated diseases. Particular emphasis will be placed on the analysis of "big" data and the acquisition of knowledge for the design and analysis of sequencing genomic assays.
