-will be familiar with the history of Genomics and its roots in Genetics and other branches of Biology
-will know the basic and advanced approaches to genome mapping
-will know the sequencing technologies, from the historically important ones to the most modern NGS technologies
-will be able to design and participate in genomics projects as a member of a large and international scientific team
-will be familiar with genomics databases and have practiced their use
-will know which ones to select and apply in order to answer different research questions in health, biotechnology, evolution, etc
-will be able to apply genomics tools to the study of physiological and pathological conditions
-will know the ethical, legal and social aspects of genomics and be aware of the risks of misuse of genomic data
