課程簡述 隨著基因組解序技術的進步與成本下降,基因體學已成為現代生物學的核心工具,特別是在植物研究領域。相較於人類與動物基因體資源的豐富性,植物基因體研究往往需從零開始,對每個物種進行序列解碼、組裝與註解,以建立基礎研究工具。本課程將帶領學生掌握DNA 定序、序列分析、基因表現偵測與定量,以及差異表現基因群的解析,進一步探索基因體學在植物生物學中的應用。

課程內容涵蓋四大核心主題:基因體結構與基因調控機制、結構基因體學(Structural Genomics)、功能基因體學(Functional Genomics),以及植物基因功能解析與基因編輯技術。學生將學習染色體圖譜、物理圖譜與遺傳圖譜的構建方法,並掌握多種 DNA 分子標誌技術(如 SNP、SSR),進一步了解 GWAS、基因體數據庫與後基因體學時代的研究趨勢。此外,課程亦涵蓋 mRNA 分析技術(如 RNA-Seq、qPCR、數位 PCR)及基因功能研究工具(如 RNAi、CRISPR/Cas9),探討如何透過基因編輯技術精確改良植物性狀。

透過本課程,學生將熟悉最新的基因體學技術,並學會如何將這些技術應用於植物科學研究,為未來的學術發展與產業應用奠定堅實基礎。
