Title
Identify genomic techniques
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to identify the appropriate technique for a genetic analysis by understanding the following about various techniques: how they work, what they are used for, and what their respective advantages and disadvantages are.
Title
Genomic Experiments
Learning Outcome
Students will complete a series of exercises with data representing genomic experiments (analysis and interpret).
Title
Genome Sequences
Learning Outcome
Students will describe how genomes are sequenced.
Title
Evaluate emerging technologies
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to interpret, assess, and critically evaluate the quality and veracity of new results and techniques in genomics by learning and critically applying their understanding of the biological principles on which current techniques are based.
Title
Genomic Features
Learning Outcome
Students will understand techniques and concepts to assess genomic features such as methylation, gene expression, etc.
Title
Communicate effectively
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to communicate technical science to an expert or lay audience by understanding the concepts underlying genomics tools and summarizing these tools orally and in writing, in both technical and non-technical terms.
