SCIENZE OMICHE IN MICROBIOLOGIA

Academic Year 2022/2023 - Teacher: VIVIANA CAFISO

Expected Learning Outcomes

The course aim to provide the basic elements for the analysis of “omic” data obtained by high-throughput sequencing and Proteomics in microbiology.

Course Structure

Analysis of NGS data and proteomics in bacteriology.
