Module 6 is available and brings in an expert in the field.

Module 6 is available. This module is slightly different from others in terms of length, but it does follow a similar structure. This was intentional so that we could bring in a speaker and provide more time for you to work on your group projects and portfolios.

You have a link to a webinar by Dr. Nathaniel Hentz that focuses on the considerations for automating high-throughput sequencing libraries. The webinar is about an hour long and Dr. Hentz has agreed to answer questions. I have shared a Padlet board for you to post questions, and I will share these with him. Dr. Hentz will also visit us for virtual student hours on Tuesday, so do try to come!

You will still have Top Hat questions and a Moodle forum to review concepts and share findings from the case study.

The case study for this module brings in a new aspect: high-content microscopy, and why we truly need HT approaches to generate large datasets for model creation. The learning objectives for this module include identifying relevant literature and resources that can aid in the experimental design of assays using high-throughput approaches. 

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

  1. MO 6.1. Identify relevant literature and resources that can aid in an experimental design featuring high-throughput approaches. (CO 1, 2, 6)
  2. MO 6.2. Describe several of the pros and cons of using high-throughput microscopy approaches to understanding subcellular component morphologies and their variations. (CO 4)
  3. MO 6.3. Explain how high-throughput technologies are necessary to generate data and findings to promote discovery. (CO 5)

Take care!
