EBH 380 - Genomics
An introduction to the rapidly developing field of genomics. Initial lectures provide a foundation in genomic structure across the tree of life (prokaryote and eukaryote). This is followed by examination of specific forces that cause variation in genomic content both within and between species. We then discuss how to sequence, assemble and analyze genomes. Finally we focus on the architecture and evolution of the human genome and compare it to non-human primate and ancient hominin genomes, and examine how the study of non-human primates can aid human health. Formerly offered also as BIO 304. Not for credit in addition to BIO 304.
