GENE6000 (v.1) High Throughput Sequence Analysis

Area: School of Biomedical Sciences
Credits: 25.0
Contact Hours: 4.0
TUITION PATTERNS: The tuition pattern provides details of the types of classes and their duration. This is to be used as a guide only. Precise information is included in the unit outline.
Lecture: 1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Science Laboratory: 1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Equivalent(s): 314220 (v.2) High Throughput Sequence Analysis 634 or any previous version
Prerequisite(s): 13371 (v.4) Bioinformatics 633 or any previous version
OR
MEDS6004 (v.1) Bioinformatics or any previous version
UNIT REFERENCES, TEXTS, OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT DETAILS: The most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes, will be provided in the unit outline.
Syllabus: This unit will provide students with the capability to apply their disciplinary knowledge in analytical and manipulative techniques, to extract meaningful biological information from data generated by high-throughput sequencing technologies. This will allow the professional application of these technical skills to basic and applied research and to diagnostic applications relevant to human health. Lectures will include training in the working principles of sequencing instrumentation and its data output, and the processes and workflows used in the applications of current and future genome analysis. This includes applying specialised software to analyse and annotate sequence data and will teach novel and challenging features of short-read sequence assembly, de novo sequence assembly, large sequence data storage and processing. Tasks will include the presentation of results from sequencing experiments in various publication formats. Students will research current topics in high-throughput sequencing and create professional-quality reports on them. The unit will therefore teach the management of output from a high-throughput sequencing pipeline.
