Credit Hours: 2.00. Course covers basic principles of molecular and classical genetics and introduces topics in current genetics research. Molecular genetics includes DNA structure and function, the organization of chromosomes, RNA function, the genetic code, mutations on the molecular level including transposable genetic elements. Coverage of genetic engineering DNA technology, cloning techniques and applications of recombinant technology both in diagnostic and industry. Basic regulatory mechanisms in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, as well as current developments (cancer genes, imprinting, etc.) are also discussed. Topics in classical genetics include: Mendelian transmission genetics, independent segregation, linkage and gene mapping, pedigree analysis, sex linkage, sex determination, and gross chromosome abnormalities.
