This course in nutrigenomics discusses nutrient: gene interactions. The course focuses on modern advances in knowledge related to how nutrient from the food we eat interacts with our genetic material and how this impact health and lifespan. This course will provide indepth information into modern techniques in genomics as well as a discussion of how small changes in the genetic code leads to changes in our bodies ‘interpret’ incoming nutrients. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): BIOL 120.3, or equivalent, or permission of the department. Note: Offered in alternate years.
