MGEN 622 Advanced Topics in Genome Sciences

Credits: 3
This course is designed to provide in-depth coverage of topics in Genome Sciences such as the use of genetic systems to probe complex problems, genetic approaches to identify novel genotype-phenotype associations, molecular genetics, single-cell profiling, CRISPR/cas9 editing, and quantitative genetics. Focus areas may include gene regulatory mechanisms and genome regulation underlying development, regeneration, degeneration, stem cell fitness, cancer evolution, and cancer predisposition syndromes. Emphasis will be on recent insights and emerging technologies. Readings will be based on selected reviews and articles from the current literature. Interactive discussions will involve critical analyses of recent research papers.
