BIOL 207 - Molecular Genetics and Heredity

The chromosomal and molecular basis for the transmission and function of genes. The construction of genetic and physical maps of genes and genomes. Strategies for the isolation of specific genes. Examples of regulatory mechanisms for the expression of the genetic material in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prerequisite: BIOL 107 or SCI 100.

BIOL 597 - Special Topics in Biology

Covers specialized topics of current interest to graduate students in Biological Sciences. Consult the Department for details about current offerings. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. Credit for this course may be obtained more than once.

GENET 375 - Introduction to Molecular Genetics Techniques

A laboratory course in which students will be introduced to modern techniques in molecular genetics. These may include cytogenetics, recombinant DNA techniques, PCR, DNA sequencing, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, methods of detecting gene expression, and genome analysis. Prerequisites: GENET 270, MICRB 265, and a 300-level GENET course, or consent of department.

GENET 575 - Molecular Genetic Techniques

A laboratory course in which students will be introduced to modern techniques in molecular biology. These will include recombinant DNA techniques, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, creating transgenic organisms (Drosophila), troubleshooting PCR, DNA sequencing, methods of detecting gene expression, and methods of genome analysis. Graduate students are evaluated with assessments appropriate to graduate studies. Credit may not be obtained for both GENET 375 and GENET 575.
