| HORT 53100 - Applied Plant Genomics |
|
Credit Hours: 2.00. This course aims to provide students an introduction to the theory and practice of functional genomics in plants. The course is centered around the many forms in which DNA sequencing technologies are applied to understand plant genomes, their variation and their function. The course will cover concepts in plant genome sequencing, transcriptome profiling and functional enrichment analyses in sets of genes. This is a full semester course that meets twice a week for: 1. A lecture that covers the rationale and theory of the topic and 2. A hands-on lab section that provides experiential learning with the computational tools and packages used in plant genomics and transcriptomics.
