Applying genomics and proteomics

Sequencing a genome is no longer the hard part; using that information well is. This topic surveys what whole genomes, transcriptomes and proteomes are teaching medicine, agriculture and forensics, and the ethical questions that follow.

In this topic

  • From sequence data to decisions
  • Predicting disease risk
  • Worked example: reading a GWAS result
  • Transcriptomics: which genes are on
  • Proteomics: what the cell actually built
  • Worked example: a protein signature
  • Systems biology and structure prediction
  • Personalised medicine and pharmacogenomics
  • Genomics outside medicine
  • Ethics, law, and fairness
  • Common mistakes to avoid
  • Key takeaways
