This module provides an introduction to gene expression and proteomics. In particular, as you might expect, we will focus on the bioinformatics analyses rather than the experimental side, although we will talk about experimental design.
This years module will be taught by Phillip Lord (PL), Cedric Simillion (CS) and Simon Cockell (SJC) of the Bioinformatics Support Unit.
This module is assessed entirely through coursework. The deadline for both assessments will be the last day of the 3 week module. The assessment will consist of two pieces of work, one relating to the microarray practical, one relating to the proteomics practical.
Both assessments will take the form of a 4 page report. As normal, this should be submitted according to the author guidelines for Bioinformatics. The page limit is strict, and is not a reflection on the amount of effort that should be put into the work.
Timetable will be in Room 601, with practicals (+) in the MRes cluster. The timetable should not change now, but I may change the location for some of the lectures to the cluster room.
