Genetics and Genomics
Learning outcomes
Students who graduate from Genetics and Genomics will be able to:
| No. | Learning outcome |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of the principles of information transfer from molecular, chromosomal and cellular mechanisms and describe how information is inherited in individuals and populations. |
| 2 | Exhibit depth of knowledge in the key functional components of genomic structure and organisation. |
| 3 | Collect, manage, analyse and interpret genetic and genomic data acquired through modern techniques. |
| 4 | Model, and communicate in a visually meaningful and logical manner, patterns of biological and medical quantitative data. |
| 5 | Communicate concepts and findings in genetics and genomics to diverse audiences, using an evidence-based approach that is robust to critique. |
| 6 | Evaluate relationships between genotype and phenotype for simple and complex traits using genomic data and gene mapping tools. |
| 7 | Adhere to safe working conditions in genetic research practice in the laboratory. |
| 8 | Evaluate how genomic biotechnologies can be used in diagnostic and therapeutic applications and examine these applications across a range of social and ethical perspectives. |
| 9 | Address authentic problems in genetics and genomics, working responsibly and professionally within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. |
| 10 | Examine and evaluate contemporary issues in genetics and genomics from a range of social and cultural perspectives. |
