GNA5900 · Genomics research project and thesis

Overview

This unit is the research project component of the Master of Genome Analytics. This Masters course provides training in the analysis of genomic data sets. You will undertake a supervised research project involving research of a publishable standard which forms the basis of a thesis presented at the end of the project period. In this unit you will present seminars on your research and you will be trained in advanced bioinformatics analysis of complex biological data sets.
