419 Honors Seminar
Taught every semester (co-taught with Dr.
Wolf)
1 credit
A discussion-student presentation format course designed to introduce
highly qualified students to biological research. Faculty in the
Biology Department present overviews on their research programs
and the students present progress reports on their honors thesis
research. The course is designed to open communication among people
with interests in biological research.
- BIO
435 Genetics Laboratory
Taught Fall semesters (co-taught with
Dr. Hemphill)
3 credits
The general purpose of this course is to allow students to gain
experience in conducting analysis using genetic methods. In this
course we will use three of the organisms that have been of fundamental
importance in the development of our understanding of genetic
principles. These are: the bacteriophage, T4; the bacterium, E.coli;
and the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. All students
will carry out a series of experiments investigating various aspects
of genetic analysis using the research organisms listed above.
Three lab reports and four quizzes will be required.

462/662 Molecular Genetics
Taught Fall semesters (co-taught with Drs. Raina,
Erdman and Maine)
3 credits
Applications of recombinant DNA methodology to the study of gene
function. Mechanisms regulating protein function and gene expression.
Overview of the molecular causes of spontaneous and inherited
diseases. Introduction to genomic and proteomic methods.
