Genome and Proteome Analysis
 
     
 

Biology and medicine are being revolutionized by the advent of new technologies. The data emerging from the Human Genome Project and other organisms resulted in the emergence of new disciplines of science collectively called as 'OMICS Science' (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and pharmacogenomics). They offer new solutions to the unresolved problems in complex diseases. 'OMICS' studies result in production of huge amount of data in terms of sequence, structure, gene expression, proteins, metabolites and function.

The aim of this course is to impart training in the analysis of genomics and proteomics data. It covers topics related to molecular biology, genome analysis, functional and structural genomics, recombinant DNA technology, and DNA & protein sequence data analysis. The course includes several experiments in wet-lab and computational methodologies.

Many biotech and pharmaceutical organizations are trying to analyze such data to produce new targets using in-silico tools. However, their efforts are limited by the shortage of skilled man power. This course has been designed to address such a need.
