A mechanistic study of mutagenesis and DNA repair. Topics include DNA structure perturbations, spontaneous and induced mutagenesis, the genetics and biochemistry of DNA repair and recombination, and the role of mutations in the development of genetic disease and cancer. Precludes additional credit for BIOC 4202 (no longer offered). Prerequisite(s): BIOL 3104 and BIOL 2200/BIOC 2200 or permission of the Department. Lectures and tutorial three hours a week.
