Molecular Genetics is a challenging lecture course that covers a range of basic topics including the concept of the gene, transcription, translation, regulation of gene expression and replication. The course focuses primarily on prokaryotic systems as a paradigm for processes in eukaryotes. It takes a historical and methodological approach with the aim of providing insight into how understanding was obtained through experimentation and discovery. The course delves extensively into the intricacies of bacterial virus (bacteriophage) molecular genetics and into eukaryotic chromosome structure. The course also covers topics in genome analysis, a field that is currently driving the rapid advancement of knowledge in the area of molecular genetics.  Molecular Genetics 126:481 is part of the undergraduate Curriculum in Biotechnology but is open to all students at Rutgers University. Prerequisites are Organic Chemistry and Genetics.
