OBJECTIVES
The course structure and function of genomes aims to provide the student with knowledge about the structure of eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes, and methods of global analysis of genomes and transcriptomes. It also provides information about the replication and evolution of genomes, with particular emphasis on mecchanisms that regulate this activity.
