Behavioural Neuro(epi)genetics and Genomics

3 credits · Undergraduate

This senior seminar course examines the primary scientific literature on the use of (epi)genetic techniques to study the molecular and cellular bases of behaviour. Transgenic-technology is discussed combined with recent advances in next-generation biological techniques (e.g., DNA/RNA methylome sequencing, optogenetics) and genome editing (e.g., CRISPR/Cas9) tools for investigation of neural circuits underlying brain function. CALENDAR NOTES: Course aimed at NESC Honours students RESTRICTIONS: NESC Honours student, Instructor permission required. FORMATS: Seminar
