Molecular Genetics

The function of every organism is orchestrated through the structure, maintenance, and translation of its genome. Using the latest molecular tools, this course will guide students through topics from the structure of individual genes, their expression, and the regulation of RNAs, to the 3D world of chromatin. With biomedical and biotechnological applications, the course will cover the fundamental molecular, genetic processes that span eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses.
