We will primarily follow HMG2. In addition, there will be some required readings and homework problems from Snustad, so I have decided to require both books this year. Prior to Jan. 4, Testudo listed the Snustad text as recommended. That is the bookstore's error, but I apologize to anyone who was inconvenienced. Both are required.
More details are available.
The first scientific papers describing the human genome were just published. An article, Ignorance Undercuts Gene Tests' Potential , by Rick Weiss from the Washington Post, illustrates how important an understanding of genetics is for people in general, and doctors in particular. Many of these are relevant to topics covered in this course.
