Course description and aims

This course focuses on the genome informatics which is a branch of bioinformatics. Genome informatics is a field which has achieved rapid development in recent years. Students will be acquired the knowledge of both genome biology and genome informatics fields.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the basic experimental methods in genome sequence analysis.
2) Understand the computational analysis methods in genome informatics fields.
3) Understand the latest topics in genome informatics.

Course taught by instructors with work experience

Applicable How instructors' work experience benefits the course
In this lecture, faculty members who have practical experience in genome/gene information analysis in a private company will utilize their practical experience.
Classes will be provided to show that genome informatics can be applied not only to basic research at universities but also to useful genome/gene analysis in private companies.

Keywords

Genome informatics, sequence analysis, Next Generation Sequnecer

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Before coming to class, students should read the course schedule and check what topics will be
covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review
purposes.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
