  • BI 360: gene Expression I: Dna Metabolism

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    An examination of eukaryotic chromatin structure, maintenance, and function. We will explore the structural and molecular composition of chromatin, how this macromolecule is assembled, how it is faithfully maintained, and how its molecular architecture controls gene expression. Integral to this course will be the study of the various modes of inquiry and research tools utilized by scientists to investigate these questions. In addition, we will examine how defects in many of these processes contribute to human disease. Prerequisites: BI106 and 242 and CH221; BI245 suggested. P. Hilleren

  • BI 361: biology of Viruses

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    An exploration of the structure, genetics, and pathogenesis of all types of viruses, from bacterial to mammalian. Rather than taking an encyclopedic approach, the course begins as an overview of common themes in the life cycles of all viruses. Building upon this foundation, the course will then draw largely from recent published research to explore features of the life cycle and pathogenesis of specific viruses. Prerequisites: BI106 and 242 or 246. The Department

  • BI 362: bacterial Pathogenesis: a Molecular Approach

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    An exploration of the latest techniques used to study bacteria-host interactions at the molecular level. The course delves into common obstacles that disease-causing bacteria must overcome in order to colonize a human host and the general strategies bacteria have evolved to overcome these obstacles. Comparisons will be made to symbiotic bacteria-host interactions and questions such as "How did pathogenic bacteria evolve " will be addressed. Grounded in current published research, the class will also explore, at the molecular level, mechanisms used by specific pathogens to colonize and damage host tissue. Prerequisites: BI106 and 246, 245 recommended. S. Franke

  • BI 363: gene Expression II: Mrna Metabolism

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    An investigation into our current mechanistic understanding of the central features of eukaryotic gene expression, including the synthesis, processing, export, translation, and turnover of mRNA and the biological machines that carry out these fundamental processes. In addition, we will examine how defects in these processes contribute to human disease. Prerequisites: BI106, BI242 and CH221; BI360 strongly recommended; BI245 suggested. P. Hilleren
