Undergraduate / Graduate Education
CMMB 413 Human Genetics
Coordinator: To Be Announced
Tel:
The principles of genetics as applied to human and medical genetics. Mendelian and multifactorial inheritance of normal and abnormal traits, pedigree analysis, segregation, linkage and gene mapping. Cytogenetics and developmental genetics, population genetics including inbreeding and evolution in humans. Genetic predisposition to disease.
Prerequisite: Biology 311
CMMB 533 Advanced Eukaryotic Genetics
An exploration of selected areas of eukaryotic genetic analysis centred largely on those metazoan animal systems used in experimental genetic analysis. The first quarter will introduce the student to the use of computers and the internet in modern genetic analyses. The rest of the course will focus on animal such as Caenorhabditis, Drosophila, and Mus. The topics considered will include developmental genetics, signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, sex deternination, neurogenesis, the genetic analysis of meiosis, etc.
