Genetics, Functional Genomics, and Proteomics
David Nelson, Ph.D.
The Genetics, Functional Genomics, and Proteomics Track emphasizes training
in the application of methods that are targeted at whole genomes, transcriptomes,
proteomes, entire gene families and other large biological data sets.
These approaches aim to discover patterns in the regulation, expression
and function of genes and proteins by analysis of microarray data, mass
spectra of proteins, whole genome sequence comparisons, bioinformatics,
quantitative trait mapping (QTL analysis) and various data mining and
database integration methods. Mapping and positional cloning of genes
responsible for single gene and complex human diseases continues the process
of interpreting our genome and forms an important part of this track.
An initiative to solve the three dimensional structures for all representative
protein folds is considered a part of functional genomics, therefore structural
biology also has a place in this track.
