Subject:

Description:

B. Hoopes A laboratory-oriented research tutorial that applies a variety of molecular genetic and bioinformatic techniques to questions of how genetic variation affects function in eukaryotic organisms. With the guidance of the instructor, students design projects to address questions on genetic effects on behavior and body form (in purebred dogs) or gene expression (in dogs or yeast). Weekly seminar meetings require students to examine papers from the current scientific literature and to talk about their projects. Each student is required to perform a literature search relevant to the project, write a paper describing the research, and make a formal presentation to the department. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
