(3 units). First half of course will focus on human chromosomes, chromatin structure, genome organization, genetic and physical mapping and the human genome project. Second half will examine the genome at the level of the gene, and covers gene structure, gene regulation, gene splicing, mRNA transport and protein synthesis. Examples of inherited and acquired genetic diseases will be discussed. Course Component: Lecture Prerequisite: BCH 3170 or BIO 3170. The courses BPS 4101, BCH 4101 cannot be combined for units.
