An independent laboratory research project in an area of biology under the direction of a faculty mentor. The research may be conducted in the Department of Biology or in other biological units on campus. A research contract signed by the student and the faculty research mentor must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biology. As part of the course, students will complete one or more formal written assignments that total at least 4500 words, with a significant portion of this assignment or assignments revised at least once.

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.

This seminar developes effective analysis, presentation, and discussion skills required of Biology majors by exploring various life science topics of interest to faculty and students. Satisfies seminar requirements for Biology majors and can be repeated for a maximum of two credits under a different subtitle. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
