Institution:

Yeshiva University

Subject:

Biomedical Sciences (Graduate)

Description:

1005 MOLECULAR GENETICS COURSE LEADER: Dr. Nicholas Baker CREDITS/CLASS MEETINGS: 4 semester hours; corresponding to approximately 40 lectures. PREREQUISITE BACKGROUND: 1 or more undergraduate Biology courses that include Mendelian genetics, molecular biology and microbiology. Students are expected to have a basic understanding of Mendelian genetics from their prior courses. Students lacking this background should arrange to study basic undergraduate genetics independently, with a tutor, or at another institution prior to enrolling. SUGGESTED BACKGOUND READING: Griffiths et al., "An Introduction to Genetic Analysis". Hartwell et al. "Genetics: From Genes to Genomes". Watson et al., "Molecular Biology of the Gene" SUITABILITY FOR 1ST YEAR STUDENTS: This course is designed primarily for first-year students, and serves as a foundation for several other graduate courses. Students who don't have the required background should consult with the course leader and their advisory committee. COURSE DESCRIPTION: The field of Molecular Genetics now pervades all areas of modern biology. The purpose of this course is to provide a grounding in the principles and techniques of Molecular Genetics for students in all areas of research, including cell biology, developmental biology, protein structure and function, evolution, neuroscience, pharmacology and human disease. Molecular Genetics focuses upon the gene and understanding gene function through the creation or isolation of mutations. The major goals of this course are to convey:
