Description:

PQ: Completion of BIOS 20182, 20192, or 20235. This course considers the different types of variation in the human genome and the tools that are used to characterize human genetic variation at the individual and population levels. We further explore how this variability is utilized to: (1) understand the molecular pathology of human disease, (2) aid in the diagnosis of human disease, (3) reconstruct human evolutionary origins and population history, and (4) unravel the evolutionary history of human genes and gene families. Throughout this course, we consider the social and ethical implications of human genetic research and medical applications. C. Ober, A. Di Rienzo. Winter.
