《Introductory Genomics》课程教学大纲
适用对象：药学专业本科生（全英文教学） （学分： 2 学时： 36个学时 ）
一、课程的性质和任务：
Genomics is a more recent term that describes the study of all of a person's genes (the genome), including interactions of those genes with each other and with the person's environment. Genomics includes the scientific study of complex diseases such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, and cancer because these diseases are typically caused more by a combination of genetic and environmental factors than by individual genes. Genomics is offering new possibilities for therapies and treatments for some complex diseases, as well as new diagnostic methods.
