Upon completing Module 2, students will be able to:

 

  • Understand the fundamental principles of transcriptomics (timeline from Northern blot to spatial transcriptomics & long read sequencing).

 

  • Identify the main technologies used in transcriptomic strategies, including microarrays and RNA sequencing (mRNAseq, total RNAseq and small RNAseq, etc).

 

  • Critically assess experimental designs applied to transcriptomic analyses to minimize technical biases.

 

  • Interpret transcriptomic data and relate findings to liver disease mechanisms and pathophysiology
