| Course Description | Our fundamental understanding of genetics is constantly being challenged with new discoveries. This course will provide students with a deep knowledge of the principles of genetics, while exploring how new discoveries are changing our understanding of some basic principles. In addition, students will learn to appreciate how our underlying genetic makeup influences the effects of environmental exposures on human health. The course follows a logical progression: We will start with molecular genetics, describing the structure and function of genes and how gene expression is regulated. Next we will cover classical genetics, focused on modes of inheritance, both Mendelian and non-Mendelian. This will be followed by an overview of human genetics. We will end the course by learning about gene environment interactions, with a focus on some of the most common complex genetic diseases. For the most part students will learn basic principles through an understanding of the experiments that lead to their discovery. The format of the course is meant to be interactive. It will include didactic lectures, group work and critical evaluation of primary papers. |
