The aim of the course is to provide practical bioinformatical skills in genomics, transcriptomics,
proteomics and metabolomics, knowledge of the major web resources and understanding of
how these methods are applied in real life scientific research. The introductory material about
each of the -omics fields is provided. The explanation of how the methods are applied in
research, what practical advantages and limitations they have and what challenges they allow
to address is provided through review and research articles. After this course students should recognize the scientific problems in the post-genomic biology, know where to access the large volumes of -omics data, understand how to perform simple analyses of these data, and know examples of how these research tools were applied in published investigations. The aim of this course is to provide an overview of metabolomics and its applications in life sciences, clinical and environmental settings.
