This course concentrates on the molecular biology of mammalian models particularly mechanisms involved in human diseases. The human genome project, forensic analysis, DNA diagnostics of human diseases, models of transcriptional and growth regulation and cancer, DNA repair, RNA processing and translation are all discussed. Emphasis on recent findings and course materials will be drawn from current reviews. Three lecture hours per week. Winter. C. Mueller. Offered jointly with BCHM-411* with additional work required. PREREQUISITE: BCHM-310 or 315*/316*/317* or permission of the instructor EXCLUSION: BCHM-411, BCHM-811*.
