Bioengineering for Genomics
Course objectives
This course aims to provide students with a practical and hands-on experience with common modeling and analysis tools of "omics" data in molecular biology and medicine. It would be expected that after completing this course a student would be able to model, analyze and interpret using Matlab, large scale genomic data like, for example, transcriptomics data of a patient using the appropriate methodology. Furthermore, students will understand the basic biological theory behind these analysis tecniques and critically analyze the results.
