Programme summary
Be part of the latest revolution in biology! Genetics is studying DNA, the blueprint for life. Your genome – all your DNA code – is more than 3 billion letters long! In genomics, you work out the genome code for any organism and use the DNA data to make important biological discoveries in areas such as medicine, agriculture, evolution and the environment. If you’re passionate about biology, and want to combine it with some mathematics and data science, this course might be for you!
