Human Genetics
Human Genetics
In this course we will incorporate both classical and molecular approaches to study the structure and inheritance of the human genome, chromosomes, and genes; gene function; effects of changes in genes and chromosomes; and analysis of the genetic structure of pedigrees and populations. Through lecture, discussion, case studies, and writing projects, we will explore topics including, but not limited to, classical genetics; stem cells and cloning; the Human Genome Project; human origins, and the future of human genetics. In this course we will also illustrate the consequences of mutation by studying human genetic disease and explore some of the societal, ethical, and legal aspects of human genetics.
