Purpose of the course The purpose of the course is to give participants an introduction to high-throughput genomic technologies. Additionally, the participants will be able to understand which high throughput technology to apply in order to answer a specific scientific question.
Intended learning outcomes After the course the students should be familiar with high throughput genomic technologies, including high throughput sequencing and various microarray platforms for gene expression profiling, genome wide DNA-binding and human genetics applications and know how these could be applied in biomedical research including in their own projects.
Contents of the course Technological platforms such as high throughput sequencing and microarray based platforms such as those provided by Affymetrix, and Illumina.
Applications of these platforms for gene expression profililng, global DNA-binding, methylation and human genetic studies.
Analysis of data from the above platforms and applications.
Teaching and learning activities Lectures, seminars, demonstrations and data analysis.
Compulsory elements The students have to take active part in all activities. An alternative time for demonstrations and data analysis will be provided, if possible, if they are absolutely unable to attend. If it is not possible to provide an alternative time, this part will need to be taken at the next course occasion. Other absence can be compensated for by an additional task in agreement with the course organizers.
Examination The students, will in groups of three students, select a paper of a relevant topic for the course. The course leaders will help them with this if necessary. The paper should be presented for the whole group of students, 15 min per group, with specific focus on the technologies used. The students should be able to discuss with the other participants and the examiner(s): Were the technologies appropriate for the study? Could they have used alternative technologies? Advantages and disadvantages. This seminar will take 2-3 hours.
