In this course, the structure, expression, control and modification of eukaryotic genes will be discussed with an emphasis on the underlying mechanisms and structure/function relationships. Many topics covered in introductory courses are included but discussed at a more advanced level. Students will have the opportunity to learn current genetic concepts and principles through lectures, as well as the application of this knowledge in the real world through primary literature reading and group research projects.
