On completion of this module students should be able to:1. Define and illustrate major concepts in genomics and proteomics 2. Identify and compare relevant technologies in genome and proteome research 3. Using examples, describe the application of high-throughput genomics and proteomics technology to address problems and questions in biological sciences and medicine 4. Demonstrate competency in the basic application of a prominent proteomics technique, i.e. the identification and comparison of proteins from complex samples by 2D gelelectrophoresis, including bioinformatics methods to analyse mass spectrometry data.

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
Feedback will be given to individual students on the lab report through VLE based on criteria for different grade categories (e.g. rubrics). Feedback will be given individually to students post-assessment, if requested.
