This module introduces students to bioinformatics approaches that can provide a system level understanding of disease associated processes, using a combination of ‘omics’ data types (e.g. genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic).
This module builds upon the basic bioinformatics techniques introduced in MOD7 (Bioinformatics, interpretation and data quality assurance in genome analysis) or MODO7 (Research and Statistical Skills for Genomic Medicine) along with the disease and subject specific knowledge gained in other modules. Students with no prior bioinformatics experience are encouraged to take this module following MOD7. This module uses the Unix command line and R to analyse genomic medicine data.
The module is delivered through both lectures and hands-on practical sessions, and employs real data to illustrate the application of systems biomedicine approaches in genomic medicine.
