DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this module is to build on the principles of genetics and genomics from earlier modules in the programme with a focus on the human genome. Students will develop a good understanding of how this knowledge has been extended and developed to analyse, manipulate and understand the genomes of humans in different populations. This will be achieved by gaining knowledge in human inheritance and genetic variation of both mendelian and non-mendelian traits. Knowledge of how to measure genetic diversity in a population of samples and investigate linkage patterns, selective processes and population admixture. Knowledge of the latest in genome technology and analysis. Students are expected to attend lectures and participate in tutorial discussions.
