This course is designed for sophomore biology majors who want to deepen their understanding of animal function by examining how animals cope with environmental challenges. This includes cellular and physiological adaptations to extremes of temperature, salinity, and altitude. This course can be used to satisfy an upper level elective/diversity requirement in all UPBM tracks and as a "group" A requirement in the BA track.

Biochemistry 250 will cover fundamental aspects of biochemistry, including bioenergetics, protein structure, kinetic analysis of enzyme action, and general intermediary metabolism. The text will be the 5th edition of Lehninger's "Principles of Biochemistry" by Nelson and Cox, with its accompanying Web site, which includes access to CHIME tutorials that explore structure- function relationships in biomolecules.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the history, theory, and practice of using computers to conduct biological research. Topics include the fundamentals of Linux-based computing and perl programming, accessing and storing biological data, alignment of molecular sequences, and computer-based analysis of data.

Human Anatomy is the detailed study of the human organism at the cellular, tissue and organ systems levels. The relationship between structure and function is covered with emphasis on structural relationships. The course includes both lectures and laboratory sessions, an provides a basis for further professional and clinical experience. (Students should not take both BME (or BIO) 258 and BIO 203.) 4 credits

This 4-credit course is geared towards providing hands on experience in conducting genetic research, with a focus on the genetics of complex traits such as behavior, development, morphology and/or physiology. Genetics of complex traits is an exciting and rapidly growing field. You will gain experience in conducting research in a laboratory environment using the insect Nasonia vitripennis and its sibling species. In the first portion of the course you will choose a trait to study and develop methods to quantify differences in the trait between the species. You will then conduct experiments to study the genetic basis of the species differences. The skills you will develop include experimental design, genetic crossing, data analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), animal husbandry, research record keeping, basic bioinformatic (blast searching a database) and genomic methods, and research presentation.

This course explores evolution at the molecular level. We will use basic evolutionary principles to infer history from DNA sequences; to determine what forces have shaped the evolution of genes and genomes; to understand the relationship between molecular evolution and phenotypic evolution; and to address applied problems, like assigning biological function to genome sequences, finding the sources of epidemics, and finding the genes involved in human disease.

This course will be centered around a survey of life's diversity with an emphasis on understanding phylogenetic relationships, trends in diversity over macroevolutionary time, and the use of comparative methods to address topics such as adaptation and convergent evolution. Methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees (e.g., neighbor-joining, parsimony, maximum likelihood, Bayesian), and the application of these trees to macroevolutionary questions will be reviewed.
