A comprehensive, four-week course in Genome Science that will integrate Bioinformatics with the latest laboratory techniques for genome sequencing, genome analysis, and high throughput gene
expression (DNA microarrays). A distinguished faculty from major universities, bioinformatic centers, The Institute for Genomic Research and the Marine Biological Laboratory will train students including postdoctoral students, graduate students and established PI's. This cutting-edge course will integrate a series of lectures with laboratory exercises both at the computer and in a high technology, high throughput facility. Limited to 24 students.
The major instructional modules include (1) Genome Sequencing (vector development, library construction, high throughput sequencing technologies, principles of automation using advanced robotic liquid handlers, genome assembly algorithms and closure strategies); (2) Bioinformatics (Gene prediction algorithms,annotation, database construction and searching, phylogenetics and molecular evolution); and (3) Functional Genomics (DNA microarrays, data analysis). In addition, we will sponsor symposia in topical areas in genome science. Examples of symposia to be offered include: Advances in genome assembly; Genomes and development; Genome science and environmental biology; Genome evolution; Impact of genome science on Drug design; etc. The breadth of topics in genome science and the advanced training based upon advanced laboratory technology, distinguish this course from all other offerings.
Directors: Claire M. Fraser, The Institute for Genomic Research; and Mitchell L. Sogin, The Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole.
