Genetics and Genomics

Por: Swayam . en: , ,

Overview

This course is designed in such a way that any biology student who has completed 10+2 is able to assimilate all modules included in this course. It starts with a proper introduction to genetics and genomics, then with the sessions dealing classical genetics and further to sessions of advanced genetics.This will enable the students to understand how the hereditary information in DNA controls what an organism looks like and how it works. The knowledge of genetics and genomics is also fundamental to an understanding of how organisms, populations and species evolve. The course will help the student to take up further some upcoming and much sort after post graduate courses based on the topics such as medical genetics, developmental and behavioural genetics, bioinformatics, environmental genetics, genomics etc.The course develops through the following topics: • Principle of Genetic Transmission • Extensions of Mendelism • Quantitative Genetics • The chromosomal basis of Mendelism • Chromosomal Variations & Linkage, Crossing over and chromosome mapping • Extranuclear Inheritance • Population Genetics and Evolution • Structure of Genetic Material • Replication of DNA &Molecular Mechanism of Recombination • Mutation • DNA Repair Mechanism • Transcription and RNA Processing in prokaryotes and eukaryotes • Genetic Code and Translation Once a student complete this course, he/she will be a thorough with the classical and advanced genetics and will be equipped to take up any advanced post graduate programmes based on genetics such as medical genetics, developmental and behavioural genetics, bioinformatics, environmental genetics, genomics etc.
