| Syllabus: | Biological organisms and their diverse properties are defined by their DNA and gene content (their genome), the RNA content (their transcriptome), their protein content (their proteome) and their content of biochemicals (their metabolome) as well as how these “omes” vary during development, between cells and in response to the environment. Methods to define each of these omes are able to generate descriptions and these descriptions are getting more and more sophisticated. The integration of the resulting large datasets to first understand and then manipulate biological properties is described as ‘Systems Biology’. |
