Learning outcomes

At the end of this course participants should be able to:

-  View genomic regions and manipulate the view to add features they are interested in.
-  Explore information about genes and their sequences, and gene data in bulk using BioMart.
-  Analyse genomic variants and associated phenotypes and their own variation data using the VEP.
-  View homologous genes and genomic regions.
