BMS504 Bioinformatics and Proteomics (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Biomedical Science (BIMSC)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject will contain an in depth study of the fields of bioinformatics and proteomics. A major part of the subject will deal with the relationship between genomes (or genomics) and cellular functions. Proteomics and bioinformatics are essential tools to analyse this relationship.
