CourseDetails
โข Introduction to Genetic Variation: Understanding the basics of genetic variation, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), copy number variations (CNVs), and structural variations (SVs).
โข Genomic Databases and Bioinformatics Tools: Overview of genomic databases such as dbSNP, 1000 Genomes Project, and ExAC, and bioinformatics tools like BWA, GATK, and VCFtools for variant analysis.
โข Population Genetics and Ancestry Inference: Study of the principles of population genetics, including Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, linkage disequilibrium, and Fst, and their application in ancestry inference.
โข Genetic Association Studies: Examination of different study designs, including case-control and cohort studies, and statistical methods for detecting genetic associations with diseases.
โข Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies: Overview of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, including whole-genome sequencing (WGS), whole-exome sequencing (WES), and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and their applications in genetic variation and disease research.
โข Rare Genetic Variants and Disease: Investigation of the role of rare genetic variants in complex diseases, including Mendelian randomization and burden testing.
โข Epigenetics and Environmental Factors: Exploration of the interplay between genetic variation, epigenetic modifications, and environmental factors in disease susceptibility and progression.
โข Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications: Discussion of the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genetic variation and disease research, including privacy, discrimination, and public engagement.
