Students study advanced topics in cellular information networks and genomic information. These lectures are split into two elements. The first element, Genomic Information, covers molecular biology and genomics. The second element, Information Networks, looks at how cells process information from a range of sources.
The unit aims to develop an understanding of key concepts in cellular information systems including:
Genomic Information
Information Networks
Asynchronous lectures and synchronous discussion sessions.
Assessment for learning (formative)
Students will undertake a mock assessment exercise.
Assessment of learning (summative)
The unit will be assessed as follows:
Reviews and primary articles from the current scientific literature.
