Functional Genomics: Welcome note from the Instructor!

Hello Participants:

Welcome to the course, Functional Genomics. This is an exciting topic, and this course would provide an overview of contemporary approaches used to understand the genome function.  This MOOC includes lectures, tutorials, and laboratory demonstrations. I advise you to regularly go through the lectures and reading materials as and when they get released. The presentation slides used for each lecture is also linked to the video file. We will have periodic assignments that would test your understanding. We also plan to have two live interactive sessions, via the Google Hangout platform, wherein we will be responding to your queries and doubts if any. These sessions are most likely will be conducted on a Saturday or a Sunday, and the details (date/time) will be posted to you in advance.

I also advise that you send us any course related queries using this course portal as this is being attended to by my senior Ph.D. students (TAs) as well, and you will get a quicker response. Emails to my personal email ID of IITK please be avoided as they may not be attended to immediately.

Good luck with your studies!
