![]() | Aims: To provide students with an understanding of the contrasting genome architecture of eukaryotes and prokaryotes and how that information can be used to advance human health. Learning Outcomes:After taking this course the student should be able to: * explain the architecture of genomes from a range of species; * explain how to use genome structural information to distinguish between individuals; * devise a strategy for the identification and mapping of genes. Skills: Learning and studying T/F/A, Written communication T/F/A, Information handling & retrieval T/F/A, Working independently T/F. Content: This course builds on previous material to enable an in depth study of the architecture of genomes. It will cover issues relating to studies of the very diverse genomes of humans and prokaryotes. Mechanisms of genomic variation and the implications for evolution of diseases and the impact on medicine and technology will be addressed. |
