Genetic Analysis

Remember Mendel's ratios from sophomore bio? They hardly ever work, because of this strange thing called reality - things like lethal alleles and penetrance and duplicate genes. Oh, and by the way, genetics is one of the most useful classes to take in your junior year if you're interested in an SRP related in any way to genomics, proteomics or if you're planning on doing any genetic manipulation of any kind. 

Students learn Mendelian, molecular, and medical genetics. The historical aspects as well as our current understanding of the laws governing inheritance are investigated. Students are exposed to hands-on laboratory exercises, problem-solving sessions, Internet activities, student-led seminars, field trips, and other class activities that complement lectures and discussions.
