GENOMIC AND PROTEOMICS
Course Code: BTB 712 Credit Units: 03
Course Objective:
The course helps in developing a detailed understanding of eukaryotic genome complexity and organization. Current research on the molecular basis of the control of gene expression in eukaryotic system has developed a detailed understanding of techniques of gene diagnostics and DNA profile to acquire the fundamentals of genomics and Proteomics.
