ST-DNA/Dvrsty:Evol&DevlpmAnml
How do complex morphologies develop from a single-cell embryo? What makes the human hand different from the horse's hoof, the bat's wing, or the flipper of a whale? These and related questions will be addressed as we explore the genetic and developmental basis of evolutionary change.
ST-Cancer Genetics
Description not available at this time.
Advanced Genetics
This course covers current topics and advanced concepts and techniques in genetics and their use in answering fundamental questions in biology. Theoretical background and experimental approaches will be emphasized. Topics will include, but are not limited to, gene and genome structure and function, tools and approaches of genetic analysis, recombination and mapping, and developmental and quantitative genetics.

Human Physiology
Mechanisms underlying organ system function in vertebrates; nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, digestive, excretory, reproductive systems.
Animal Behavior
Our first goal in this course will be to examine the mechanisms that underlie the expression of behavior. For example, how do predators locate prey, how do animals avoid becoming prey, and how do animals navigate through their worlds? To help answer these questions we will apply neurobiological, hormonal, genetic, and developmental perspectives. Our next goal in the course will be to examine the evolutionary bases of behavior, asking for example why animals move, forage, hide, communicate, and socialize as they do.
