Genetics 425a/625a
The Human Genome Project, which started in 1990 and completed in 2003, consisted of sequencing of the human genome and the genomes of model genetic organisms (E. coli, S. cerevisiae, C. elegans, and D. melanogaster). Large scale efforts are in place to digitize not only the sequence but every aspects of biological information into a comprehensive knowledgebase to be distributed, analyzed, computed, experimented and simulated.
Genomics covers a large field of rapidly evolving areas of biological and biomedical research involving acquisition annotation and analysis of the genome sequences. It also covers development and implementation of experimental and computational strategies for analysis of genome sequence and other large scale experiments. The following sections will highlight various methods and their applications for analyzing interesting biological problems.
