3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits. Prerequisite: BIOL 303. An introduction to the principles of population genetics and addresses topics such as inheritance, genetic variation, fitness, natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, gene expression, and single- and multi-locus models of different types of selection. Human disease is addressed. Students will write a mock-grant proposal.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits. Prerequisites: BIOL 115N, 116N, 293 and 303 for BIOL 457 only. For 557, students are expected to have had courses in cell biology and genetics prior to enrollment in the course. A basic course covering the history of virology, viral taxonomy, genetics, and the molecular biology and host responses to the major mammalian virus groups. Examples or recent impacts of viruses on human health such as influenza pandemics will also be covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits. Prerequisites: BIOL 115N, 116N, 293 and 303. This course will introduce genomics as a scientific approach that combines molecular biology, high-throughput methodologies, bioinformatics and computing to reveal the secrets hidden within a genome. Topics will include how whole genomes are studied, including large scale sequencing, RNA expression profiling, proteomics and bioinformatics.
-
1.00 Credits
Lecture 1 hour; 1 credit. Prerequisites: BIOL 293, junior, senior or graduate standing for 560. Review of the structure, synthesis and properties of key nano-materials and their impact on living systems.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lecture 2 hours; laboratory 4 hours; 4 credits. Prerequisite: BIOL 250-251 or equivalent. Students will dissect a human cadaver and learn all major structures. All exams will be practical tag-tests using human tissue. The major emphasis will be on head, neck, trunk, and joints with some clinical application to injuries and surgery.
-
0.00 - 5.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hours; laboratory 4 hours; 5 credits. Prerequisites: BIOL 292 and junior standing or permission of the instructor. The biology of amphibians and reptiles, emphasizing their evolution, classification, and morphological and ecological adaptations. Field trips and laboratory exercises introduce techniques for observation, collection, preservation, and study.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lecture 2 hours; laboratory 6 hours; 4 credits. Prerequisite: BIOL 308. The identification, classification ecology, culture, and uses of mushrooms and other fleshy fungi. A field oriented course.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits. Prerequisites: BIOL 115N and 116N or BIOL 108N and 109N plus a minimum of 6 credits of biology courses at the 200 level or above, all taken before enrollment. Covers the historical origins of major concept areas in the biological sciences including evolution, cell biology, ecology, systematics, botany, biomedical sciences, and molecular biology. Includes discussions of the philosophers and scientists behind the discovery of these principles. Includes a significant writing component.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits. Prerequisite for 478: BIOL 315 or equivalent or permission of instructor. Prerequisite for 578: a general microbiology course. Study of the interactions between microorganisms, particularly bacteria, and their environment. Emphasis is placed on nutrient cycling and the influence of microbes on global mineral dynamics. The effects of physical and chemical factors on distribution and activity of microbes in their environments and applications of these interactions are studied (biotechnology).
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory 3 hours; 1 credit. Corequisite or prerequisite: BIOL 478/578. A laboratory for measurement of microbial numbers and activity in natural environments.
