课程信息
The content of the course covers genotyping techniques, bioinformatics and statistical basics including the linking of the collected data with public available databases and the interpretation of sequence variation. We will discuss scientific issues such as determining the genetic lineage of individuals, learning from genomes about the migration and evolution of the human population, and how natural selection has shaped human genomes. Furthermore, the course will discuss medical aspects: how to detect disease-causing genetic mutations, how to predict diseases such as diabetes based on genomic data, and how genetic information can be used to recommend clinical treatments. Additionally, we will talk about direct-to-consumer tests commonly used to inform about non-medical, general wellness traits (such as athletic ability, hair color, earwax type, wine taste preferences, -for example), or help individuals explore their genetic ancestry. Practical exercises will form the core of the course.
