Courses lectured 

We are currently responsible for the following course at Tampere University:

BBT.MB.602 Functional Genomics, Period 2, 5 cr

BBT.MB.602 Functional Genomics (5 cr)

Course responsible: Andre S. Ribeiro

Moodle: https://moodle.tuni.fi/course/view.php?id=37457

Learning Outcomes: In this course, the student will learn about core mechanisms of regulation of gene expression in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and how they affect phenotypes, and their interaction with the environment. 

Specifically, the students will learn about prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression, mechanogenomics, mitochondrial genomics, RNA-omics, spatial genomics, and gene networks from specialists in the fields. In the end, the students should be able to conceive and implement methods from functional genomics to address research challenges in this and similar areas of research, and to understand ongoing biological adaptations to global environmental changes. Moreover, the students should be able to use the knowledge to produce projects and pitches for the bioindustry.

Requirements to complete course and evaluation: 

The grading (0-5) will be based on:

1) Journal club: short presentations (0 or 1 pt.)

2) Research Project Pitches (0 to 1 pt.) 

3) Final Exam (0 to 3 pts + must pass)

Study material

• Lecture slides will be made available in Moodle as they are given.

Supporting scientific publications

• "Molecular Biology of the Cell", by Bruce Alberts.

• A list of scientific publications will be provided as lectures are given.

Prerequisites: To attend this course, the students need to have attended basic university courses on Cell Biology, Molecular Genetics, and Molecular Biology. 

Remarks: The course is suitable for postgraduate studies.

Additional information related to course: The course is lectured every year.
