Earth's most crucial alphabet is its tiniest - DNA's four-letter code. The understanding of how hereditary information is transmitted through this compact code originated from studying organisms with genetic abnormalities (mutants). Modern molecular genetics now enhances this classic method, utilizing extensive DNA sequence data and advanced technologies for precise gene modification. As a student, you can explore various courses centered on gene architecture, operation, and control, taught through diverse animal, plant, and microbial models. Subjects like genetic engineering, developmental genetics, behavioral genetics, and evolutionary genetics highlight how this minimal alphabet influences every facet of life.
Honors Specialization in Genetics – This program showcases one of the Department's key research focuses. Students engage with courses covering gene organization, functionality, and management, incorporating contemporary 'omic' techniques (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) across various biological systems. Supplementary courses delve into connected areas such as genetic manipulation and developmental genetics.
