Outline (in English)

This course presents some of the basic concepts of molecular biology with an emphasis on the state-of-the-art technologies based on gene editing. Upon completing this course, students will be able to explain and describe the basic concepts of genetic inheritance, classical and molecular genetics, and recent advances in DNA technologies. We will also look at the arms race between viruses and us from the genetics point of view. Students will be able to develop hypotheses to interpret biological phenomena they encounter in real life and critically evaluate and appraise technological developments in this field. There is a quiz every week about the contents covered in the previous session, so students must go over the past lectures regularly. Also, students are expected to read a chapter in "Cell Biology by the Numbers." every week to complete an assignment. In addition, students must read academic articles outside class to prepare essays and presentations. Final grades are calculated based on: presentations (40%), essays (40%), and participation (20%). Participation includes the completion of response sheets and assignments, as well as quiz results.
