| Description: This course begins with the study of the basic principles of classical and molecular genetics, including Mendelian genetics, chromosomal structure, DNA structure, and protein synthesis. Then the course moves into gene expression, mutations, genetic disorders, and gene linkages. Further study will include modern technologies such as recombinant DNA, gene therapies, and nanotechnologies. The courses will conclude with our understanding of the human genome and current technologies discovered because of this knowledge.
