A discus sion on current aspects of molecular genetics including: chromosome structure and function, inheritance of mutations and disease, the human genome and disease gene mapping. This course will also cover the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without a change in DNA sequence, or epigenetics. This course will address the basic principles of epigenetics, the role of epigenetic mechanisms in normal development and human disease with emphasis on the role of chromatin structure.Weekly
