Course Details
This module provides the fundamental principles of bioinformatics as applied to clinical genomics. Students will develop a strong understanding of how computational tools and genomic data are used in the diagnosis and interpretation of genetic disorders.
The course will cover key bioinformatics techniques for processing and analysing genomic data, including variant identification, annotation, and interpretation. Emphasis will be placed on leveraging major genomic databases and in silico tools to critically evaluate and prioritise variants with clinical relevance.
Theoretical concepts will be reinforced through practical workshops where students will annotate and interpret predefined genomic datasets. These hands-on sessions will simulate real-world clinical scenarios, preparing students for roles in research and clinical diagnostic settings.
