This course seeks to understand the function of DNA in its
structural context, the chromosome. We will examine the
elements of chromosomes that allow genetic material to be
faithfully propagated and maintained, and also consider how
a chromosome's structure and organization influence such
fundamental biological processes such as gene expression,
recombination, and DNA replication. The influence of
aberrant chromosome function on human diseases will also be
considered. We will focus on current experimental approaches
and also assess contributions from ongoing genome sequencing
projects.
MAJOR READINGS
Suggested text readings will be supplemented
with review articles and research papers from the current
scientific literature.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
This course will include
midterm examinations and a final. In addition, class
presentations and class participation will be expected from
