GGB 502LEC - Essentials of Genetics & Genomics

This course is designed to teach the concepts and practices of Genetics and Genomics and is based on the Griffith’s textbook but uses Model Organisms more extensively to illustrate these concepts and practices. By the end of the course the students should understand the basic principles underlying Genetics and Genomics as research disciplines and should be familiar with how various Model Organisms are used as research tools. Some historical background will be given so that the students can place current studies in the context of a historical perspective. Learning how a field developed can give us insights into how it should progress in the future.
