Genomics Lite: Infectious Disease Series - Resource Pack
This series explores how genomics is used to understand a range of infectious diseases, how diseases are studied, and how we can treat and prevent the spread of diseases.
The resource pack includes: links to 4 recorded one-hour webinars - exploring how genomics is involved in studying the negleted tropical disease trichuriasis; how the malaria parasite and vector are studied in experimental and data research; biosecurity and ethical considerations relating to open access data on infectious disease data; and a career panel exploring different roles and journeys into the field. The pack also contains learning resources and activities to further understanding and engagement on the topic.
Genomics Lite: Human Genome Project Series - Resource Pack
This Genomics Lite series explores the legacy of the Human Genome Project, how sequencing methods have changed over the years, and how the genomics revolution has led the way to new jobs in the field.
