Course Description
This course provides a foundation for understanding the relationship
between molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, genomics,
bioinformatics, and medicine. It develops explicit connections between
basic research, medical understanding, and the perspective of patients.
Principles of human genetics are reviewed. We translate clinical
understanding into analysis at the level of the gene, chromosome and
molecule; we cover the concepts and techniques of molecular biology and
genomics, and the strategies and methods of genetic analysis, including
an introduction to bioinformatics. Material in the course extends
beyond basic principles to current research activity in human genetics.
