Principles of Genetics
Gene function is examined at the molecular level, including the arrangement and function of regulatory and coding sequences. The chromosomal and molecular basis for transmission of traits is studied through inheritance patterns, recombination, linkage, genetic and physical maps. Gene mutation and chromosomal abnormalities will be covered to understand genetic diseases such as cancer. Genome sequencing, genetic engineering, microarray analysis, along with the use of model organisms in laboratory, will illustrate modern experimental techniques.
