Topics in Eukaryotic Genetics

Drawing primarily from current research papers and review articles we will examine new findings in gene regulation, chromosome dynamics, cell division, development, and other topics. Findings from model systems such as yeast and Drosophila will be emphasized, as well as discoveries made possible by the human genome project.
