ADVANCED GENOMIC AND PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS

GENETICS 885
Course Description

With the availability of genome sequences and high-throughput techniques, organismal physiology can now be examined on a global scale by monitoring the behavior of all genes or proteins in a single experiment. This course will present modern techniques in genomics and proteomics, with particular focus on analyzing the data generated by these techniques. Course material will cover genomic sequencing, comparative sequence analysis, phylogeny construction and phylogenomics, transcription factor motif discovery, DNA microarray analysis, techniques in mass spectrometry, proteomic screening methods, and protein-interaction network analysis. In addition to lecture time, the course includes computer lab where students get hands-on experience analyzing genomic and proteomic datasets. Students should have coursework in general statistics and intermediate or advanced genetics.

GENOMICS, PROTEOMICS, AND METABOLOMICS: A DEEP DIVE INTO OMICS DATA ANALYSIS

PATH 970

Advances in medicine are increasingly being driven by "big data" analyses, including proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics. Basic knowledge of how to analyze these datasets can allow one to generate and test hypotheses that have the potential to transform a field. In this course, students will conduct individual data mining expeditions using a collection of large proteomics and metabolomics data sets. Formulate hypotheses about the interrelationships of molecules and their potential relationship to health, disease, and biological phenotypes. Basic background instruction on "omics" methodologies, heritability studies, and analytical methods will be provided. Provides the basic knowledge to carry out future 'omics analyses; using scientific inquiry to potentially transform the practice of medicine.

A basic overview of the latest concepts in genomics, including 3D genome organization, the importance of genome annotation, the use of genomic testing in plant and animal breeding, the potential of genomic prediction on human medicine, and the latest advances in omics integration.

TOOLS FOR DATA ANALYSIS

ABT 775

Using a variety of existing and emerging bioinformatics tools and computational methods, emphasizes hands-on experiences analyzing and interpreting large data sets (e.g. genomic, proteomic, microbiomics, interactome, target discovery). Evaluate and adapt existing computational approaches for specific use in solving a problem in biotechnology.

GENOMIC SCIENCE

CHEM/GENETICS 626

Brings cutting-edge topics in the genomic sciences into the reach of those in chemistry, biology, engineering, computer science statistics fields. Enables biologically-oriented students to deal with advances in analytical science so that they may incorporate new genomic science concepts into their own scientific repertoires.

GENOMICS AND PROTEOMICS

GENETICS 564

The basic principles of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics will be taught through a semester-long project of the students choosing. Creative problem solving in science skills will be learned through a variety of active-learning techniques that include: reading of primary literature, group presentations, peer review, bioinformatic lab exercises, science communication skills (writing visualization), and creating a website. Emphasis will be placed upon how to effectively communicate science (written, oral and written). Topics include: genomic sequencing, phylogeny, domain analysis, transcriptomics, CRISPR screens, chemical genomics, quantitative proteomics and protein networks. Capstone course.
