Lecture Thursday 12:30-1:20 PM PS153 Lab Tuesday and Thursday, 1:30-3:20 PM LSE317

Course Description Integration of genetics and genomics principles, the basic processes of gene transmission, molecular biology of gene expression and evolutionary genetics by gaining social and historical context in which genetics has developed. Participants are expected to comprehend the dramatic change in our understanding of human genetics and the role such information has in our view of disability and disease.

Prerequisites MICR 2125 and one of CLML 3014, PLP 3344 or BIOCH 3653

Text One of the following recommended books: Hartl D.L. and Jones E.W. (2004) Essential Genetics a Genomics Perspective 3rd Edition Jones and Bartlett Publishers Boston. Hartwell LH, Hood L, Goldberg ML, Reynolds AE, Silver LM, and Veres RC (2004) Genetics: From genes to genomes 2nd Edition McGraw Hill Companies Inc Boston

Rules and Policies OSU rules and policies will be strictly enforced, specially regarding academic dishonesty/misconduct, special accommodations for students, retention & grading policies, class attendance and add & drop dates

Scoring Evaluations of two midterm, a final written examination, two lab reports and one oral presentation during the course. There will be 1000 possible points and they may be earned as follows:

Objectives and Format This course has been designed to give students a unique opportunity to observe and explore the world of genes and their organization into genomes and face some of the contemporary problems of medicine and biotechnology. As you probably are aware, genetic principles underline modern medicine, biotechnology of pharmaceuticals and the development of cures for diseases.

Two modules contain the course: lectures (that will provide you with historical and contemporary background information) and laboratory experiments (that will allow you to observe genes in action in a series of experimental systems). The course is designed to attend the needs of undergraduate cell and molecular biology, microbiology and biology, majors with emphasis in the medical field.

Guidelines for Graduate Credit Graduate enrollees must submit to the instructor by the date of the final exam a full-length referenced review paper of at least 5,000 words. The subject to be reviewed will be a course lecture topic and consent of the instructor is required.
