Course Overview

Functional Genomics certification is an online 4 weeks course that is a presentation of the institutions NPTEL and IIT Kanpur exclusively presented on the Swayam platform. DNA technologies are highly emerging, and the full genomic sequences of different organisms are analyzed and deciphered. Still, the understanding process is critical, and since it is a challenge, that is the reason why these institutes have brought up this certification course for helping the target set of participants.

The Functional Genomics training aims at giving comprehensive approaches for studying genomic functions that can be used for developing and promoting large-scale approaches which can investigate how genomes exactly perform, what their products and their interactions are. This course has been approved by the Indian government as an FDP course. Moreover, this free programme has also got confirmation from the AICTE board. The learnings are completely free of cost, except for when seeking the end certification.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

There is an expectation from the candidates that they have a basic understanding of molecular biology and cell biology.

Certification Qualifying Details

Functional Genomics certification by NPTEL and IIT Kanpur is given when the candidates do justice to the scores secured in the assignment and the final examination. The marks secured in both these must be 10/25, and 30/75 respectively to earn certificates, otherwise not securing even one set of marks shall stop the candidates from receiving the final certificate.

What you will learn

Knowledge of genetics

The Functional Genomics certification syllabus will try, and provide the candidates with an overview of what exactly is functional genomics along with its contemporary approaches that are useful for understanding the genomic function.

Who it is for

Here are the different audiences that this course caters to:

Candidates who are interested in going ahead with genomic research in the field of biotechnology.
Any technical staff that are working as scientists in the industries of molecular diagnostic libraries, biopharma, and biotechnology.
Medical students along with clinicians who are practising genomics, and molecular medicine.
Any student who wants to make their career in the fields of biopharma, and biotechnology.

Admission Details

Here are the Functional Genomics classes admission procedure below:

Step 1: Follow Swayam’s official website: https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc21_bt39/preview.

Step 2: Next, locate the 'Sign in/Register’ button, and make a click.

Step 3: Then the click leads to students entering details for making Swayam registration accounts.

Step 4: Finally when everything is sorted, the studying process begins.

Application Details

Swayam gives a form for filing up when signing up on their official website. The registration can be made by using one’s Microsoft accounts or by simply filling in their names, and email addresses. The candidates have to be sure of the fact that they are giving the correct information that may be used in the case of future references.

The Syllabus

Pre- and post-genomic era
Major advancements in genomic approaches
Epigenetics and metagenomics
Forward versus reverse genetics

Genome editing approaches and their applications
Gene expression analyses and applications

Methods for DNA/RNA sequencing
Sequence analysis and their applications

Genomic insight into evolution
The power of comparative genomic analysis

Evaluation process

The end certification caters to those applicants who have paid Rs, 1000 and also been a part of the final examination, and also received 30/75. Though passing only in the final exam isn’t enough since the course demands the students to pass the assignments by receiving 10/25. If due to any situation, the participants fail to complete any of the criteria, then their certificates will be canceled.
