Genomics Courses

Genomics courses can help you learn DNA sequencing techniques, gene editing methods, and the principles of genetic variation. You can build skills in analyzing genomic data, understanding gene expression, and applying bioinformatics tools to interpret results. Many courses introduce software like BLAST for sequence alignment and R for statistical analysis, demonstrating how these tools facilitate research in areas such as personalized medicine, agricultural biotechnology, and evolutionary biology.
