授業の目的 【英語】 Goals of the Course | | Aim: This course aims to develop students foundation in Genetics, and is the beginning of a series of courses on Genetics.
Objectives: By the end of this course, students should be equipped with knowledge concerning the mechanisms of processes related to how genetic information is inherited rigidly and flexibly from generation to generation.
Students are expected to become confident at using appropriate scientific terminology, be able to understand and explain the studied genetics concepts, and be able to analytically manipulate this information. |

Students will learn about detailed polynucleotide structure ad its relation to genetic processes.
2. Chromosomes, chromatin, and the nucleosome
Students will learn how DNA is structurally organized in the cell and how this structure is dynamically maintained and altered throughout cells' life.
3. Replication of DNA
Students will learn the detailed mechanism of DNA replication, in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
4. Mutability and repair of DNA
Students will learn what causes changes in DNA and the cellular mechanisms for DNA repair.
5. Genetic recombination
Students will learn in depth about the different types of DNA recombination mechanisms, including examples of these mechanisms in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. |
