BIOS 21236 - Genetics of Model Organisms

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

PQ: BIOS 20182 or 20192. A small number of organisms have been chosen for extensive study by biologists. The popularity of these organisms derives largely from the fact that their genomes can be easily manipulated, allowing sophisticated characterization of biological function. This course covers modern methods for genetic analysis in budding yeast, Drosophila, C. elegans, Arabidopsis, and the mouse. Case studies demonstrate how particular strengths of each system have been exploited to understand such processes as genetic recombination, pattern formation, and epigenetic regulation of gene expression.
