Introduction
Topics: This course will focus on current developments in understanding the molecular mechanisms of genome maintenance and cancerogenesis. A strong emphasis of the course will be to understand the methods and techniques that have enabled modern breakthroughs in understanding genome stability. The course will rely heavily on primary literature and class presentations.
Prerequisite: Biochemistry (CH339K and CH339L) or equivalent. Undergraduate students must have the instructor's permission to register for this course.
Course web page: The course web site on the OpenWetWare (OWW) Wiki will be used to complete assignments. Participants will be required to register an account on OWW and learn to edit this Wiki.
