Literature-based discussion of molecular principles in genetics and functional genomics, with focus on cancer and stem cell biology.

Covers the following topics from a biomedical perspective: protein and nucleic acid biochemistry, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, purines and pyrimidines, genome structure, molecular mechanisms of development, and signal transduction.

Focuses on the role of chromatin/nuclear structure organization (histone and DNA modification, chromatin remodeling, higher order chromatin structure and nuclear organization) on gene regulation, DNA replication and repair, relevant to development, metabolism, learning and memory, and human disease.

Covers fundamental knowledge and cutting-edge research of muscle biology and muscle diseases. Topics include development and stem cell biology of muscle, immune and inflammatory responses, epigenetics and gene regulation, and diagnostic marker discovery and therapy development.

Provides an introduction to bioinformatics with a focus on performing core analyses using coding techniques. Students learn essential concepts in bioinformatics, gain proficiency in programming languages such as R and bash, and apply these skills.

Students learn the fundamentals of bioinformatics and the unix operating system.

Student research-based colloquium covering current topics in gene organization and expression, cell cycle and differentiation, DNA repair, checkpoint control, and the physical, chemical, and biological properties of macromolecules. Students are encouraged to read critically and analyze recent literature.
