Developmental Genetics Tues. and Thurs. This is not a comprehensive review of developmental biology but more of a special topics course. The goals of this course are to familiarize you with the current areas of research in developmental genetics and the types of experimental approaches that are being used. In addition, the aim of this course is to develop your critical thinking, and your ability to apply your knowledge of the material and the experimental methods to problem solving. You will be expected to attend all classes and do the readings specified for each lecture.
Readings are to be done prior to the lecture and be prepared to discuss the articles assigned.
The articles will be handed out in class. I will hand out review articles, research articles and handouts as needed. The intent is to provide students to figures that are shown in class, this is not meant to be a substitute for attending lecture. There will be two exams based on the material presented in class. These exams will be short answer and essay type questions.
