BIOL 2101

(3 credits) 3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab This course will provide an overview of genetic principles through the historical recounting of seminal work and the logic used therein, and then connect theory to practical skills such as gene mapping and pedigree interpretation. Students will be introduced to the connection between the central dogma of modern biology (replication, transcription, and translation) and the establishment of phenotype. Tutorials will provide a venue for students to apply lecture theory to simulations or practical exercises. It is strongly suggested that students do not enroll in this course until their second year of studies.
