1. Successful completion of the courses "General Genetics", "Molecular Biology", "Biochemistry", "General Cytology", as well as familiarization with selected sections of the biology of individual development, evolution, taxonomy. 2. Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of chemistry, physics, molecular biology, cell biology, etc.; ability to use theoretical knowledge from these disciplines to solve practical problems. 3. Possession of elementary skills in working with scientific electronic databases, scientific literature and the ability to perform systematic analysis.

“Genome Analysis and Editing” covers the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of genome analysis and editing at the modern level. Special attention is paid to the principles and methods of bioengineering and gene therapy, as well as the features of their application both in studies of individual organisms and in population studies of different species. The course considers modern DNA sequencing methods, in particular, comparing sequencing technologies of different generations. Approaches to preparing samples for sequencing, creating genomic libraries, and methods for reducing errors at this stage are analyzed in detail. A significant part of the course is devoted to the latest genome editing technologies, in particular CRISPR/Cas systems, as well as methods of their application in human gene therapy. The discipline is interdisciplinary in nature and forms the fundamental knowledge necessary for work in the fields of molecular biology, biomedicine, bioengineering, and biotechnology.
