General description Genomics has many subdisciplines. According to the NIH, Genomics is the study of all of a person's genes (the genome), including interactions of those genes with each other and with the person's environment. However, Genomics also deals with the genomes of other organisms as well as their evolution. Genomics includes knowledge procuded by Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Statistics, Maths, Physics and so on. Classic Genetics used to start with a mutant and then search for the gene or genes responsible for that particular phenotype. By contrast, Genomics aims at predicting the function of genes from their sequence and/or their interaction with other genes. OMIC sciences (Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics) are top science at the moment, particularly because of bioinformatics and the new DNA-sequencing tecnologies.
Contingency plan In case of another lockdown becaus of covid19: 1. Contents will be the same. 2. In-person instruction will change to virtual-only. This means that all lectures (theory and computer labs) will be hosted using MS TEAMS. 3. Tutoring sessions and any other communication will take place by means of email, videocalls or chat as implemented in MS TEAMS. 4. The only change in the assessment will be that all students will be evaluated online. 5. The recommended reference list will remain the same. If needed, instructors will provide with any reading and/or course resources to the students.
