About this course

Genetics is the study of heredity. In this course, we will explore the fundamental concepts of molecular and transmission genetics in eukaryotes and the applications of this foundation to the study of genotype-phenotype relationships. Important topics will include gene expression, Mendelian genetics, the chromosomal theory of inheritance, genetic linkage, and epigenetic inheritance. Students will also be introduced to some of the tools that are commonly used for genetic and genomic analyses and to the special cases of cancer genetics and extranuclear genetics.
