In this course we develop fundamental skills in eukaryotic genetic analysis through lectures and by reading, analyzing, and presenting research articles. Concepts are presented within the context of a well-studied field, such as chromosome segregation. The basic genetics tools that have been developed are then used to analyze other topics such as vegetative and meiotic cell cycle control, and mouse, plant, and human disease genetics.
