Survey of Modern Omics: Theory and Methods
CRES 712

Course Information

Description

This course is a survey of the omic sciences which encompasses genomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, exposomics, and other "-omics" modalities. Through an in-depth examination of omic applications in clinical medicine, public health, and epidemiology, students will gain a nuanced understanding of the theory and rationale for omic investigation. We will discuss the foundational mechanics of different kinds of omic investigations, while also exploring their strengths and limitations when applied across a range of clinical and epidemiological research questions. Course objectives will be met through a mixture of didactic lectures, discussions of omics scholarship, class presentations, and weekly written assignments. Given the breadth of topics covered, students will be expected to complete several assigned readings prior to each class session.
