Students study advanced topics in cellular information networks and genomic information through a series of 30 lectures. 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 is be assessed by a single 3 hour examination paper.
The unit aims to develop an understanding of key concepts in cellular information systems including:
Genomic Information
Information Networks
Lectures.
The unit will be assessed through one 3 hour examination in May/June. Students will be given a choice of essay titles and will be expected to answer 3 questions.
Reviews and primary articles from the current scientific literature.
