LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1) Integrate knowledge from genetics and evolution in order to explain the term genome at the level of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms
2) Analyze genome function, causes of genome changes and their consequences on the living world
3) Link the transcriptome and genome as the basis for transmission of genetic information
4) Compare transcriptome and proteome function at the cell, tissue and organism level
5) Discuss methods used for whole genome, transcriptome, proteome analysis or analysis of some specific genome, transcriptome, proteome part
