Instructor: Aswin S Seshasayee, Sandeep Krishna
Time: 11.30-1.00 PM
Days: Tuesday/Thursday
Credits: 3
Course Outline:

The course will discuss what we have learnt from sequencing thousands of bacterial genomes over the last 20 years. How are these genomes organised? How do they evolve? How is the information contained  in these genomes read by the cellular machinery? The emphasis will be on computational methods involved and on the biological principles gleaned from these studies.

 

Course outcome:

  • Understand how the bacterial genome is organised,

  • Is able to describe how this evidence for organisation was gathered

  • Understand how this information is read by cellular machinery

  • Is able to use the computational approaches that can divine bacterial organisation.
