Learning Outcomes of UE

From a selected publication, the goal is to explain to the students the integration of data collected with various methods used in genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabonomic.  At the end of this course, the students will be able to  :

- understand the importance of integrating data from various 'omics' sciences to evaluate a complex biological mechanism
- integrate and interprete "omics" data
- describe concepts and methods used in the acquisition of "omics" data

Content of UE

1. <b>Metabonomics section</b> (Professor Jean-Marie Colet):

- succesive steps in metabonomics analyses
- analysis of biofluids by proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
- Multivariate analysis of spectral data

2.<b> Proteomics section </b>: (Professor Rudy Wattiez)

-  mass spectrometry
- different steps of a proteomics study 


3.<b> Genomics</b><b>/transcriptomics section </b>: (Professor Alexandra Belayew)
 
- microarrays (DNA and RNA analyses)
- high throughput sequencing

Prior Experience
