RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and microarray techniques are powerful tools for global analyses of transcriptomes and gene expression. This advanced hands-on course is designed for students who desire to become research scientists in any of the many areas of biology that use these techniques. Lectures on fundamental concepts, experimental design, and the impact of understanding gene expression patterns are combined with computer labs where students analyze RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and microarray data. Prereq: A course in Cell Biology or Molecular Biology.
