Fundamentals of Genetics

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Yonsei University: The objective of this course is to help students to understand molecular mechanisms of cellular functions. This course will deal with principle running-machinery for cells and organism. Through this course students will learn molecular mechanism and application for principle dogma related with physiology. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This course investigated the principles heredity including evolutionary history, laws of inheritance, transmission and expression of genes, sex linkage and recombination and chromatin organization and modification. Students participated in several lectures, laboratory practicals and computing practicals to learn about the mechanisms that underpin genome dynamics and techniques that better inform our understanding genetics. In this course we will discuss the fundamental properties of genes and the various approaches to genetic analysis, as it is performed in several different model organisms. When applicable, we will discuss current examples of genetics issues that arise in the literature or in the media and link these examples to topics covered in class.
