BIOL 504 Genetics (Graduate)

This course integrates basic principles of genetics in eukaryotes and prokaryotes at the level of molecules, cells, and multi-cellular organisms including humans. Also covered are Mendelian genetics, the molecular basis of gene function as well as mutation, transmission systems, population, and evolutionary genetics. Subtopics also include the structure and function of chromosomes and genomes along with biological variation resulting from recombination, mutation, and selection.
