The course is based on the knowledge and technologies in Molecular Biotechnologies and the present course aims to cover the recent advanced technologies in the fields of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics followed by literature projects including report, presentation and opposition. A brief introduction to methods in functional genomics will be included.
The course Applied Gene Technology aims to give detailed insight into the techniques and technological trends in the fields of genomics and transcriptomics, building up the necessary foundations for further research in association studies, population genetics, diagnostics, medicine and drug development. The course includes a short introduction to conventional assays used in molecular biotechnology, description of different methods for typing of genetic variations, a variety of techniques for multiplex amplification, advanced techniques and technological platforms for DNA sequencing and whole genome sequencing and different techniques for transcript and protein profiling.
In addition, the course involves a literature workshop of selected articles, which will be performed in groups. Each group presents one article and will oppose two other group’s articles. This project aims to learn critical reading, interpretation and comparison of the most advanced techniques and platforms in the fields of whole genome sequencing, massive parallel genotyping and transcript profiling.
Following completion and passing the course the student should be able to describe:
In addition to be able to describe these techniques, the student should know the application area(s) of each specific approach and should have understanding for advantages and disadvantages of each technique and also be able to compare and discuss usefulness of the techniques in each field.
