College of Arts and Sciences

Credit(s): 3

This course will survey selected topics relevant to the understanding of the diversity and complexity of human genetics and genetic diseases, and will explore some of the contemporary methodologies used to identify genes underlying human genetic diseases. This course will also cover modern methods for genome analysis since the human genome sequence forms the foundation of current human genetics in research and medicine. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.

Prereq: Grade of C or better in BIO 304 or permission of instructor.
