Molecular Biology of the Chromosome
MB&B234 FA

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 will 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 will assess contributions from ongoing genome sequencing projects.
