This course will be divided into six part.Part I. Gene and the genome. In this part, we will have a detailed understanding of genome size, gene content, gene distribution in different genome.We'll also discuss types of genes, gene ontology, anomalous-structured genes, and alternatives.Part II Structural genomics. This part will discuss molecular markers of various kinds, methods of marker detection, construction of linkage maps and physical maps, and sequencing strategies.Part III New methods in DNA sequencing. This part will cover sequencing by synthesis, nanopore sequencing, sequencing by ligation, and sequencing by hybridization, etc. Part IV Functional genomics. We'll cover tranome and tools for reverse genetics, in particular TILLING and RNAi.Part V Comparative genomics. This part will focus on synteny between related species, and genome evolution.Part VI Genomics and human beings. In this part, we'll discuss what human can benefit from genome projects.
