Epigenetics

Undergraduate

This course will examine our current understanding of “Epigenetics”, the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without a change in DNA sequence. Epigenetics is an area under intensive scientific investigation. The goal of the course is to provide an introduction to the fundamentals of epigenetic control along with an understanding of the interplay between epigenetics and disease, health, behaviour, and the environment. (Prerequisite: BIOM-3500 or BIOM-3530.)
