Genetic mapping - linkage and association mapping, genetic markers, mapping populations, genetic mapping in human. Physical mapping - cytogenetic, optical, radiation hybrid and BAC contig maps, mapping based on chromatin conformation capture. Positional gene cloning, collinearity. Whole-genome sequencing strategies and procedures. Second- and third-generation sequencing. Sequence assembling and annotation. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) identification and genotyping, high-throughput genotyping platforms. Transcriptomics - analysis of transcriptomes by DNA microarrays and RNAseq. Determination of gene function - saturation forward genetics, reverse genetics, genome editing by synthetic nucleases, approaches to identification of regulatory sequences. Genome projects in prokaryotes, plants, animals and human.
