  • BIO 311: Genes and Genomes

    3.00 Credits
    Endicott College

    This course will focus on the power and importance of genetic information. Classical genetics (DNA structure and replication, gene expression, how inherited genes and how gene mutations affect us) will be covered. Genomics, which is the study of the complete genetics makeup of an organism, will be focal. Understanding an organism's genome can lead to cures for diseases, helps in forensic analyses, and provides insight into all life forms on earth, including pathogens that threaten our existence. ELSI (ethical, legal and social issues) related to the Human Genome Project will be discussed. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. Prerequisites & Notes BIO 102 and BIO 103, or permission of instructor and dean. (Cr: 3)
