Genes and Genomics

What it covers

This unit is designed to provide students with the broad concepts and knowledge associated with genes and genomics. The unit will span from basic gene regulation and expression at the cellular level through to the analysis of human genomic profiles. Students will gain an understanding for how our genes can control the developmental process, health and also result in disease, with a focus being placed on genomics in health and disease. Topics to be covered include chromosomes, genetic sequencing, bioinformatics, epigenetics and emergent DNA technology for altering genes such as CRISPR.
