Introduction to Genomic and Molecular Genetic Methodologies

Molecular genetics is one of the most rapidly growing fields of biomedical science and has become integral to all fields of study in the life sciences. This workshop consists of lectures and laboratories designed to introduce current theory and the fundamental tools that underlie the most recent technologies in molecular genetics. The course goal is to give participants hands-on experience with a number of the techniques used in genomics as they are applied in all the life sciences. The lectures will provide much of the theory that forms the basis of these techniques.
