Advanced Genetics Moodle Site - Guest Login: Guest583
This course covers current techniques in genetics and genomics, their use in answering fundamental questions in biology and the social, ethical and legal issues surrounding genetic technology. Theoretical background and experimental approaches will be emphasized. Topics will include, but are not limited to DNA sequencing technology, genome structure and evolution, genome wide expression analysis, bioinformatics, human microbiomes, personal genomics, and the genetics of disease.

Bioinformatics and Genomics Drupal Site
The course emphasizes the strong interdependence of Genomics and Bioinformatics. Genomics produces large scale data sets that require bioinformatic methods for data storage, manipulation and analysis. Neither could produce meaningful results without the other, yet they are traditionally placed in separate disciplines. By teaching both approaches together, this course will give students the ability to formulate genome-related hypotheses and provide the practical skills for solving the closely interlinked experimental-analytical problems that genomics approaches involve.

Introduction to Microbiology Moodle site Guest Login: Guest310
Microbes are everywhere: around us, on us and inside us. In fact, it is very difficult to find an environment on Earth that does not support some form of microbial life. Through this course, we will aim to understand how microbes became so immensely successful at colonizing every possible habitat on the planet.
