This document outlines the schedule and topics for a class on SNPs and gene expression. The class will have 6 sessions, with groups of 2 students presenting on selected papers in each session. Topics to be covered include an introduction to terminology like forward and reverse genetics; how often SNPs occur in the general population; databases of SNPs like dbSNP and haplotype projects like HapMap; gene expression analysis using microarrays; and experimental design, data analysis, and visualization techniques for microarray data. Papers for each group to present on are also listed. The next class will involve discussing one particular paper on SNPs.
