It will be followed at the same time and place by a course that will meet for the second half of the semester only entitled Genetics of Self Proliferation, MB&B299, although students may register for MB&B298 independent of MB&B299. This seminar-type course will use original research papers to explore the strategies used by eukaryotic cells to turn on groups of genes during differentiation and in response to various physiological situations.
