1.00 Credits
A critical evaluation of research in genetics and genomics in a seminar/discussion format. Specific focus will vary and will reflect areas of interest to the field, faculty and students in the genetics and genomics. Topics may include mechanisms of genre regulation, evolutionary genetics and genomics, genetic dissection of development in complex organism, dosage compensation, genetic and genomic analysis of gene and protein regulatory networks, chromosome transmission, interactions between genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Prerequisites: BIOL 0470 and BIOL 1540.
-
1.00 Credits
Critical evaluation of research in genetics and genomics, and related topics in a seminar/discussion format. Topics vary each semester. Expected: Strong background in genetics, e.g. both BIOL 0470 Genetics and BIOL 1540 Molecular Genetics, or equivalent. For graduate students; undergraduates with permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
The transfer of traits from one individual to another is a fundamental process in biology. In this course, we will explore the diversity of molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic inheritance through a critical evaluation of primary literature, with special emphasis on the design and implementation of novel strategies to study these processes. For graduate students and advanced undergraduates with a strong background in genetics. Expected: BIOL 0470 and BIOL 1540. Written permission required for undergraduates.
-
1.00 Credits
Emphasizes critical reading and discussion of the primary literature as it relates to DNA transactions such as DNA replication and recombination in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Class participation and oral presentations will be required and the basis for course grade determination. Topics of discussion will cover diverse model systems and may include: Epigenetic Regulation Via Chromatin Remodeling and Modification; Mechanisms of DNA Replication, Recombination and Repair; Transcriptional Regulation; Structural Basis of Epigenetic Regulation; RNA interference and anti-viral therapeutics; Trinucleotide Repeat Expansions and Neurological Disease; and Mechanisms of Vertebrate Development. The course is open to graduate students; advanced undergraduates with permission of the instructor. Class will meet one, three hour period per week; to be arranged.

Key developmental and homeostatic hormones such as steroid hormones (e.g. estrogen, testosterone, glucocorticoids), and lipophilic non-steroids (e.g. retinoic acid, thyroid hormone) act through receptors that directly bind DNA and control gene expression. This course examines the activities, structures, functions, and mechanisms of action of these Nuclear Hormone Receptors and the consequences of alterations in protein or hormone function. Approaches span genetics, biochemistry, genomics, proteomics, and developmental biology.
