Aim:
The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge of Molecular Genetics. After completing the course the student will be able to:
  • give an account of the mechanisms for transcription and translation
  • give an account of mutation, reparation and recombination of the DNA describe the mechanisms for gene expression
  • describe non-Mendelian inheritance
  • give an account of theoretical knowledge in genomics give an account of fundamental knowledge and experimental skills in the area of molecular genetics


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
