Outline and Purpose of the Course DNA sequencing technology is increasingy popularized, the application of this technology in the clinical medicine is now coming into reality. The aim of this course is to provide knowledges which are necessary to understand Genomic Medicine. The link between basic science and clinical medicine will be focused, from the currently ongoing practice to future perspectives. A lecture is provided by expert researcher each week. Students are also required to particpate in the symposium of Kyoto Course on Bioinformatics for Genomic Medicine.
Course Goals - Understand the basic concepts behind Genomic Medicine
- Learn about current and upcoming application of genome science in the clinical practice
