HGEN 0509 - Genomics Technologies and Diagnostics

Description
This course is an overview of essential concepts in key technologies used in classical genetics and advanced genomics. Technologies are discussed in both a research and clinical diagnostics context. Classical genetics techniques include cytogenetics and standard molecular genetics techniques. Molecular genetics topics include basic laboratory techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Gene expression and single nucleotide polymorphism microarrays are also covered. Advanced topics such as mass spectrometry and massively parallel high-throughput sequencing technologies are also covered.
