Course Objectives & Description
Omics is a systematic naming of various fields of biology and biotechnology. There are many –omics subfields such as genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. I provide students with latest omics research topics with insights on the evolutionary theories.
- Intro:
- How to study
- How to research.
- Principles: What is life, information, and the universe? (as information processing objects) Fractality of evolution, encapsulation, and information propagation
- Genomics.
- Epigenomics: Environment and biological information objects and their interaction
- Transcriptomics
- Aging and Cancer.
- Omics based Diagnomics
- Geromics: Aging omics.
Remarks
Topic Research discussion and presentation (100%) Self-Critical Scientific Assessment (SELF): Writing research papers on the course.
Each week, before, class, students are asked to present on omics topics that are related to evolution theories.
The final grade will be given by the quality of research reports and presentations (in English)
The important points of grading are:
1. Being scientific in reasoning and presenting (reports and presentation)
2. Critical thinking level (showing in various communications such as reports)
3. Being independent in thinking (showing in various communications such as reports)
