Prereq: BIO 304 (Introductory Genetics) or equivalent or consent of the instructor is required. BIO 315 (Cell Biology) or equivalent is recommended, but not required.
This course in contemporary genetic analysis emphasizes experimental approaches to biological questions in a variety of eukaryotic organisms. The course includes discussion of the application of methodologies spanning a wide range of genetics, including classical, molecular, quantitative and genome-wide approaches. Primary scientific literature is investigated to understand the development and application of these methods. The course is intended to provide a good working understanding of current genetic techniques, how to select appropriate approaches to modern biological problems, and how to interpret results of genetic analyses.
