Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture course is focused on the molecular mechanisms of classical genetics.

The following topics will be covered:

- Model organisms and their genomes

- Genome sequencing

- Mendel genetics and deviations

- Molecular principles of meiosis

- Molecular mechanisms of homologous recombination

- Genetic mapping

- DNA organisation: chromatin

- Climate change and meiosis

I understand that there are good reasons not being able to attend a lecture unit (overlap with other courses or exams; illness; obligation to work; obligation to look after kids….). I will send a mp4 recording of a lecture upon request (via email) provided a good reason is brought forward. In any case, lecture slides (pdf format) will be available after each lecture via Moodle.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam with a variable proportion of open questions, "multiple choice" questions and arithmetic tasks.
From SS2024 onwards not only the lecture will be held in English, but also the exam tasks have to be answered in English.
