授業概要
Study Subjects
This course consists of the progress reports of the attending students. In this course, the students are requested to present their own reearch progress and research plans from the viewpoint of human genetics and genetic epidemiology, followed by discussion with all students and faculty members. The presentations should be given in English language. Both English and Japanese panguages are used in the discussion.  This  course  is a  journal  club.  Students  are  requested  to  read,  summarize  and  critically review the significance and problems of a recent paper related to human genetics  and  genetic  epidemiology.  The presentation should be done in English language. Both English and Japanese may be used in the discussion. This course is a workshop on how to use basic genome databases and how to perform statistical analysis in human genome analysis. Different subjects are provided for .Practice  in Genome and Environmental Medicine I and II.
授業の到達目標(学修成果)
SBO(Specific Behavior Objectives)
Students are expected to learn the principles and methodology to study human genome diversity and its implications in disease research. As a result, they are expected to acquire the following abilities.

1. The ability to present the purpose, methods, results, interpretation of the results and future research plan.
2.  The ability to to discuss the significance and originality of their experimental and/or statistical analyses in relation to the current understanding in the research field.
3.  The ability to appreciate questions and comments from your peers and advisors, and to effectively utilize them for the improvement of your future research.
4. The ability to understand the significance and limitation of other students’ presentations, and make useful suggestions for the improvement of their research.
5. The ability  able to make research protocols in compliance with the Ethical Guidelines for Human Genome/Gene Analysis Research under the supervision of faculty members.
6. The ability to  explain genetic/genomic analysis and statistical analysis in the geneics/genomics esearches.
7. The ability to propose the appropriate research design in accordance with the characteritics of the disease of interest.
8. The abilit y to correctly interpret the results of the human genetics studies and their significance in the basic and clinical medicine.
By critically reviewing a cutting-edge paper, students will learn the up-to-date researches in the field of human genetics/genomics and its implications in disease research.  They will also gain an insight how to design and conduct their own studies in order to be able to publish the results in good scientific journals. As a result, they are expected to acquire the following abilities.

1. The ability  to  find  a  suitable  paper  to  review  from  good  scientific  journals  using online reference search systems.
2. The ability to  understand the selected paper, and explain it to other students in a given time period.
3. The ability to ask questions and discuss the problems of the paper presented by other students.
4.  The ability to  explain  the  significance  of  the  paper  in  the  specific  scientific  field. 
By attending this workshop, the students will learn how to use the basic human genome databases to obtain necessary information related to their own research projects. They will also learn the basic principles of statistical genetics essential for the studies related to molecular and genetic epidemiology. As a result, they are expected to acquire the following abilities. 

"Practice  in Genome and Environmental Medicine I"
1. The ability to obtain information on the structure and function of genes using public genome databases.
2. The ability  to design PCR primers and experimental conditions.
3. The ability  to obtain information on the association between human genome diversity and diseases.
4. The ability  to obtain information on the SNPs associated with gene expression by using public genome database.

"Practice  in Genome and Environmental Medicine II"
5. The ability to detect genetic polymorphisms associated with diseases using appropriate statistical tests.
6. The ability  to obtain linkage equilibrium information. 
7. The ability to run Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test and to calculate genotype relative risk.
8. The ability to estimate haplotype frequencies and to calculate linkage disequilibrium parameters.
9. The ability  to explain the significance of linkage disequilibrium block in the association study of disease susceptibility genes
