Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Genetics - Functional Genomics and Proteomics
在多倫多大學
關於課程
MoGen research in the area of Functional Genomics and Proteomics uses technologically advanced methods to comprehensively understand how the information encoded in genes and proteins ultimately functions in an organism. We aim to systematically explore the basic cellular processes underpinning growth and development, and to identify changes that cause disease.
Genomics and proteomics are two of the newest biological disciplines, and research in these areas has been driven by the application of technology to biology. Two important technologies driving these disciplines are DNA sequencing and mass spectrometry. New technologies for DNA sequencing were created as part of the global effort to sequence the human genome, completed in 2001. In the years since then, major advances in DNA sequencing now make it possible to obtain the entire DNA sequence of any individual and to determine all of the RNAs present in a cell. Mass spectrometry is a method for determining the quantity and identity of molecules, and can be used to measure molecules ranging from cholesterol and chemotherapy drugs to cellular proteins. Mass spectrometry has been particularly useful in characterizing which proteins are expressed in particular cells, and this information is a powerful complement to quantitative data from DNA and RNA sequencing. The results from these methods and from other large-scale, often robotically assisted, approaches are analyzed using increasingly sophisticated computational methods.
