In this course, the student will learn about core mechanisms of regulation of gene expression in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and how they affect phenotypes, and their interaction with the environment. The students will learn about prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression, epigenetic memory, mitochondrial genomics, cancer genomics, RNA-omics, spatial genomics, and gene networks from specialists in the fields. In the end, the students should be able to conceive and implement methods from functional genomics to address research challenges in this and similar areas of research, and to understand ongoing biological adaptations to global environmental changes. Moreover, the students should be able to use the knowledge to produce projects and pitches for the bioindustry.
To attend this course, the students should have passed the course the course BTK4301 Molecular Genetics. Meanwhile, that course requires Bachelor level knowledge on Cell Biology, Genetics, and Molecular Biology.
We may need to limit the number of participating students to a maximum of 20. Students for which the course is obligatory will be prioritized.
