This is a survey course in Genetics for beginning graduate students in a variety of life-science disciplines. The material is organized into five units, with lectures by expert faculty. Unit 1 provides a rapid review of molecular biology mechanisms that are essential for normal cellular function. Unit 2 covers mutations from both evolutionary and phenotypic perspectives. Unit 3 explores the technologies being used for basic and applied genetics research. Unit 4 addresses how exemplary organisms have been used to reveal the mechanisms of complex biological processes. Unit 5 introduces some of the controversies resulting from application of genetic tools to challenges facing modern society.
