教学目的要求
"Epigenome and Genome structures. This section introduces the concept of “epigenetics” and the structures of chromatins. It covers chromatin remodeling and the modifications of DNA and histones, and their roles in chromatin structure maintenance. Contemporary life sciences and medicine are moving towards the era of large data as represented by high-throughput sequencing. How to model, analyze and interpret genomic data will determine whether we can quickly and accurately discover new biological phenomena and rules, and provide accurate medical care for patients. This course will introduce common data types in genomics, such as DNA-seq, RNA-seq, and statistical analysis and graphing methods commonly used in data analysis.

Proteomics is a fast and powerful discipline aimed at the study of the whole proteome or the sum of all proteins from an organism, tissue, cell or biofluid, or a subfraction thereof, resulting in an information-rich landscape of expressed proteins and their modulations under specific conditions. In the section for proteomics, we will introduce the most common technologies and workflows used in proteomic studies. Details of this section include principles and techniques in proteomics, recent advances in proteomics and application of proteomic technology. In the section for protein phase separation, we will introduce physical basis of phase separation, biological functions of phase separation and computational screening of biological phase-separating proteins.

In the section for genetics and genomics studies, we will introduce technologies used to understand the genetic architectures underlying human complex traits, disorders, and diseases. These include genome-wide association studies, next-generation sequencing technologies, as well as the computational methods used to mine and interpret the genetics and genomics data. We will introduce approaches for basic association studies to identify disease-associated loci, including common variants, rare variants, and de novo mutations. We will also introduce approaches for advanced analyses widely used in the post-GWAS era to interpret and prioritize causal variants. These include integrative methods that rely on multi-omics data (such as transcriptome data and epigenomics data), deep learning methods to fine map genetic variants, and statistics methods to understand the regulatory roles and functional impacts of genetic variants in disease-relevant contexts.

In the last section, we mainly talks about computational cancer biology, but with a highlight on the implication of computational analysis in solving practical problem in cancer and the development of related treatment. We will first introduce the concept of tumor intra heterogeneity which is the main reason of drug resistance to standard treatment. We will discuss computational approaches for understanding tumor intrinsic subtyping, clonal evolution as well as therapeutic implications. A big part of the course will focus on cancer transcriptomics including canonical gene expression, non-coding elements, regulatory network and mRNA splicing. We will summarize computational methods and current challenges in cancer splicing analysis. Splicing factors are recurrently mutated in human cancers, which provide genetic evidence directly linking RNA splicing dysregulation to tumorigenesis. We will particularly talk about spliceosomal mutations in human cancer and therapeutic targeting of those mutations. Lastly, we will introduce pan-cancer analysis which takes advantage of the increasing amount of genomic data and human cancer projects, and cancer pharmacogenomics studies towards a speed-up of translational medicine."
