-
3.00 Credits
Lectures and student projects on selected aspects of genetics such as the genetics and evolution of particular organisms, regulation of gene expression and transmission, human genetics, gene therapy, etc. Prerequisites: BIOS 345 or consent of department. (NS)
-
3.00 Credits
Structure and replication of viruses. Emphasis on the organization, replication, and regulation of expression of viral genomes; the mechanisms of virus assembly and release; and on virus-host interactions. Special attention given to human pathogenic viruses. Prerequisite: BIOS 120 and CHM 112. (NS)
-
3.00 Credits
Frontiers in human genetics, including simple and complex genetic diseases, cancers. Emphasis on genes and structures that enable reproductive processes; genetic functions of mammalian germ lines. Analysis of current publications. Prerequisite: BIOS 120. (NS)
-
3.00 Credits
The fundamental features of sensory systems in a diverse array of animals. Focus on how nervous systems detect, compute, and internally represent aspects of the environment from the single cell to whole system level. Special attention to the way sensory processing influences how we think about the biological basis of perception and possible mechanisms for consciousness. Prerequisites: BIOS 177 and 120.
-
3.00 Credits
Molecular aspects of cell biology. Emphasis on membrane structure and function, organelle biogenesis, cell motility, the cytoskeleton, and extracellular matrix. Prerequisite: BIOS 120. (NS)
-
2.00 Credits
Basic methods used in cell biology laboratories around the world and the opportunity to carry out an independent research project. Techniques include histology and microscopy (both white and fluorescent light), tissue culture and sterile procedures, cellular fractionation, nuclear import assays, and immunological probing. Co- or prerequisite: BIOS 367. Consent of Department. (NS)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Functional analysis of energy balance in vertebrate animal models. Digestion, respiration, circulation, and excretion, across aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates. Homeostatic mechanisms of salt, water, and gas exchange. Ionotropic and metabetropic signal transduction. Hormonal and electrical cellular communication among muscles, glands, and neurons. Sensory systems, movement and reproduction. Physiological adaptations to extreme environments. When offered for 4 credits, the course includes one laboratory meeting per week. Prerequisite: BIOS 120. (NS)
-
3.00 Credits
