This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
This unit sets out the basic principles of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics. The major areas covered are: (i) genome sequences - genomic variation, identity and evolution (ii) genome expression - arrays and proteomics (iii) biomedical genome research - development of vaccines, antibiotics, RNA medicine and genomic ethics (iv) online genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics - a variety of unknown DNAs are isolated, assayed, amplified, sequenced and their sequences analysed using online shareware applications. Instruction employs interesting but complex questions derived from biomedical case studies. Students use bioinformatics to explore the biomedical content and processes contained within each case study.
Students must have passed SCH1111 or SCH1133.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.
