-
3.00 Credits
Theoretical, philosophical and methodological foundations of the classification of eukaryotic organisms and the manner in which systematic theory and method relate to evolutionary theory. Two lectures and one labrecitation- discussion session. Prerequisite: BIOS 317.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental mechanisms underlying neural development. Early events leading to the induction of the neuroectoderm and the reorganization of the vertebrate central nervous system during adulthood and aging. Major developmental events such as phenotype commitment, cell migration, differentiation and growth cone guidance. Emphasis on the interplay between concepts emerging from organismal and molecular levels of analyses.
-
3.00 Credits
Graduate level study of the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of systems that underlie behavior in vertebrates. Emphasis will be on the traditional and novel methodologies used to reveal neuroanatomical pathways as well as the function of these pathways. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
-
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.
-
3.00 Credits
A seminar course that covers current primary literature on the hormone-nervous system interactions that underlie physiology and behavior. The course covers the neuroendocrinology of reproduction, sex behavior, parental behavior, social behavior, agonistic and territorial behavior, learning and memory, homeostasis (caloric, nutritional, water and salt balance, temperature regulation), circadian rhythms and seasonality in a variety of vertebrates. Prerequisite: BIOS 382 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Comparative analysis of several eukaryotes as model systems in cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, and molecular biology. Prerequisite: BIOS 345 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
Biochemistry and function of small nuclear RNPs, RNase P, ribosomes, self-splicing introns, signal recognition particle, RNA viruses. Functions of RNA in DNA replication, in regulation, as an enzyme, and as a repressor. Prerequisite: BIOS 345 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the principles underlying nucleic acid structure including stereochemistry, electrostatics, hydration, torsional constraints, sequence specific effects, and interaction with nuclear proteins. Special emphasis will be placed on DNA structure. Prerequisites: one year of biochemistry and one year of physical chemistry or permission of the department.
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the principles underlying protein structure including stereochemistry, preferred tertiary structures, protein homology, excluded volume effects, time dependent structural fluctuations, and prediction of protein structure from sequence information. Prerequisites: one year of biochemistry and one year of physical chemistry or permission of the department.
-
1.00 Credits
Applications of material covered in BIOS/CHM 371 including techniques used in research. Prerequisite: BIOS/CHM 371 previously or concurrently.
