Course details

Skills you will learn
More about this course
  • This course will advance your understanding of the rapidly growing use of genomics in the research, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical conditions.
  • As medical technology advances, new hugely powerful genomics technologies enable an individual's full gene set 'and even whole genome' to be analyzed rapidly and simultaneously, with the aim of identifying pathogenic DNA variants.
  • On this course, you'll develop your understanding of the structure, organization, and function of the human genome, and learn how genetic variants can disturb this function and cause disease.
  • Alongside leading academics from the University of Glasgow, you'll explore how genomic analysis enables scientists to extract medically important findings.
  • You'll get to grips with genomic data analysis and build your skills in using sophisticated online databases and tools to analyze the latest human genomic datasets.
  • You'll also learn common terminology used in global genomic analysis and explore how genomic technologies can be applied in guided therapy for specific medical conditions.
