This unit covers the global study of an organism's genes, proteins, carbohydrates and metabolites, and their role in cell structure and function in health and disease. It teaches the commonly used experimental approaches used to determine the genome, proteome, glycome and metabolome of particular cells and organelles including electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and NMR. Students gain laboratory and research skills in methods of global analysis and data interpretation, as well as in oral and written presentation of scientific data. -- Course Website
