This laboratory course aims to provide students a hands-on experience through a series of laboratory experiments, designed to examine various genetics phenomenon in order to better understand fundamental genetics principles. In addition, students carry out experiments and data analysis related to the fields of genetics, genomics and bioinformatics, such as deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) and protein sequence analysis, data mining from different types of research databases, basic Bioinformatics analysis of next generation sequencing data, etc. This course equips students with the basic knowledge to solve biological questions using a genetics, genomics and bioinformatics approach.

CILO-1: Use basic concepts of genetics, epigenetics, genomics and bioinformatics principles. CILO-2: Practise molecular biological techniques in the field of genetics. CILO-3: Design experiments in silico. CILO-4: Use data-mining techniques in various public databases. CILO-5: Examine data from the fields of genetics, genomics and bioinformatics.
