Syllabus

The course will provide an overview and introduction to the field of Systems Biology and Functional Genomics. The goal is to familiarize students with the major concepts and methodologies in the field, and to introduce them to high-throughput experimental and computational approaches that are employed.
 
Main topics:
  • Transcriptional regulation
  • Regulatory networks
  • MicroRNAs and long non-coding RNAs
  • Epigenetics
  • Chromatin structure and function
  • DNA sequence analysis
  • Noise in Biological systems
 

 

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to:
  1. Demonstrate knowledge of the major systems biology approaches and methodologies that are employed in studying distinct biological questions in the field of gene regulation.
  2. Demonstrate understanding of how to analyze and interpret high-throughput functional genomic data
