reprogramming in embryonic stem cells and cloning.
BCH 7515: Structural Biology/Advanced Physical
Biochemistry: Kinetics and Thermodynamics (1) Prereq: BCH
4024, CHM 3218, 4207, GMS 6001, or consent of instructor.
Fundamentals of chemical kinetics and thermodynamic analysis of
equilibria. Emphasizes applying this knowledge to understand basic
enzyme kinetics, pulse-chase kinetics, protein polymerization, DNA
dynamics, protein-nucleic acid interactions, and cooperative ligand
binding.
GMS 6195: Epigenetics Journal Club (1; max: 12) Prereq:
consent of instructor. Presentation and critical discussions of recent
original papers published in high-impact journals relating to the
topic of epigenetics. S/U.
Advanced Concentration in Genetics
Directors: H. V. Baker and M. R. Wallace. Complete faculty listing by
department: Follow this link
The concentration in genetics offers graduate training in all facets of
modern molecular genetics including bacterial, viral, lower
eukaryotic, mouse, developmental, and human genetics. The
courses listed are taught in a 5-week modular format.
BCH 7410: Advanced Gene Regulation (1; max: 3) Prereq: GMS
6001 or consent of instructor. Literature-based assessment of the
most recent advances in factors governing eukaryotic gene
regulation.
GMS 6010: Yeast Genetics (1; max: 3) Prereq: GMS 6001 or
consent of instructor. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as
a model eukaryotic cell to study the biological processes common to
all eukaryotic organisms.
GMS 6011: Mouse Genetics (1; max: 3) Prereq: GMS 6001 or
consent of instructor. Theoretical framework for understanding the
fundamentals of mouse genetics and use of the mouse model to
