Course material for the master course in Human Genomics

This page contains the material used within the course in Human Genomics for students studying Biomedicine at the master program in Medicine with Industrial Specialisation at Aalborg University, Denmark.

Welcome to the new module, Human Genomics. This module aims to provide you with insight into what shapes the human phenome, and how genetics and genomics can be applied to advance our understanding of human traits, health, and disease, including their application in personalized medicine.

Below is a brief overview of the module’s content:

By the end of this module, you will have a comprehensive understanding of human genomics and its transformative role in biology and medicine. This course is designed to equip you with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, preparing you for further research or careers in genomics-related fields.
