Sylabus
Topics covered:
- microarrays, next generation sequencing - how they work, technologies, applications, advantages, limitations
- analyses of genome, transcriptome (RNA-seq), translatome..., single-cell analyses
- epigenomics - chromatin modifications, transcription factor binding sites (ChIP-seq)
- analysis of 3D nuclear architecture - chromosome conformation capture methods (HiC)
- metagenomics - analysis of environmental samples, composition of microbial communities
- genetic interactions - mutant libraries, synthetic genetic array, siRNA screens, mapping the functional architecture of a cell
- chemical genetics - identification of novel targets for therapy
- tools for genomic data processing and analysis - Galaxy framework, genome browsers...
- visualizing genomic data
- integrating data from various methods
- databases for "omics" data
Practical sessions will be based on online tools and resources (eg. Galaxy). No programming skill are needed.
