Présentation

Goal
To acertain patterns of inheritance based on the study of pedigrees
To understand principles and possible uses of basic molecular genetics tools.
To emphasize the rich history of genetics
Presentation
1st part : Mendelian genetics and its extensions

Chapter 1: Mendel laws
Chapter 2: Elements of cytology (mitosis, meiosis, gamete formation)
Chapter 3: The chromosome theory of inheritance
Chapter 4: Exceptions to the Mendel laws (codominance, epistasis ...)
Chapter 5: Intra chromosomal recombination (factorial linkage and recombination, chromatid and tetrad analysis)
Chapter 6: Gene mapping

TD: exercises

2nd part : Molecular genetics

Chapter 7: From chromosomal to molecular heredity
Chapter 8: The genome of eukaryotic cells (DNA structure, gene structure, extranuclear DNA)
Chapter 9: DNA replication, and repair mechanisms
Chapter 10: From genotype to phenotype (transcription, maturation, translation, mutations and polymorphisms)
Chapter 11: Genetics of bacteria
Chapter 12: Regulation of gene expression

TD: tools used in genetic engineering, and exercises : nucleic acid extraction, PCR, electrophoresis, enzymatic tools, Southern blot, sequencing, DNA chips, molecular cloning. GMO
