After a review of the basic mechanisms of gene regulation and signaling, this course will expose students to several technological and methodological tools for systematically dissecting regulatory networks and systems. Emphasis is on extracting global insight from genome-scale molecular biology datasets. Students will participate in class discussions of research papers, solve systems biology problems using the R statistical software and write an independent paper.
