Basic knowledge of Genetics
To provide students with a comprehensive and current view of the techniques, fundamentals and applications of Plant Genomics and introduce systems biology of plants. The specific objectives include understanding the following aspects: the diversity and complexity of plant genomes, the techniques commonly used in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics studies and applications to the genetic improvement of crop plants. Use of mathematics for predictive modeling through integration of different omics data.
Systems Biology: Concepts, methodology, and case studies using multiple omics.
The case study will be the emergence of a new disease affecting and killing all tomato varieties. The students will make a trip through all the -omics to unveil the cause and search for a scientific solution feasible for application in crop plant breeding.
Specifically,
We will use practical applications of methods and techniques in plant phenomics and genomics, including the use of molecular markers in breeding. Importance of QTL in this problem.
Analysis and application of data arising from genomics and transcriptomics studies to narrow down the problem.
Analysis and application of data arising from proteomics, interactomics, and metabolomics studies to find a solution to the problem.
Integrative analysis of the case study applied, including Computational modelling, to crop plant breeding.
