Description:
The fundamental
goal of Systems Biology research, and perhaps of most biomedical research, is
to understand how biological systems work - how systems develop and respond to
environmental signals, how their normal function can break down in diseases,
and how they can be manipulated, for example, to alleviate the burden of
disease. The genome sequences of humans and model organisms have provided
researchers with powerful tools to study biological systems. They have also revealed thousands of genes
whose functions we do not fully understand.
The field of Functional Genomics emerged to help solve this
problem. Functional genomic studies use
high throughput or high content technologies and analysis methods to collect
and integrate functional information on large sets of genes.
This course provides
an introduction to the theory and latest advances in Functional Genomics
technologies and Systems Biology research. A major focus is placed on
understanding how the data from these technologies can be interpreted to derive
testable hypotheses about the functions of genes and entire biological systems.
Topics include Genomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics,
Interactomics, Phenomics, Network
Biology, Systems Biology, and Synthetic Biology. The course relies heavily on
recent literature relevant to the theory and application of Functional Genomics
technologies and Systems Biology.
Prerequisite:
Open
to Wayne State University Graduate Students who have taken IBS7010 Molecular
Biology and IBS7020 Cell Biology or
by permission from the course director (rfinley@wayne.edu).
Note:
This
course is cross-listed as part of the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences
(IBS) curriculum (IBS7030) and the Molecular Biology and Genetics (MBG)
curriculum (MBG7030). Consult with your
Graduate Advisor or the course director about how credit for this course may be
used to fulfill the requirements of your program.
