| Course Objectives | The aim of this course is to teach the molecular structure and function of the genome by providing basic information about the effects of genetic variants on cells and populations. At the same time, the necessary methods to establish the relationship between phenotype and genotype and to determine pathological gene mechanisms are also taught. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Course Description | The mechanisms that control the expression of genetic information and the phenomena that carry out the transfer of this information at both the cellular and population levels will be covered in this course. Detailed information will be given about the events that occur during the reading of genetic information and the epigenetic and genetic parameters necessary for the disclosure of this information, and how the deterioration in these causes diseases will be explained with examples. In addition, the theoretical background of the basic techniques required to measure the mentioned parameters will be discussed and ethical/legal aspects will be discussed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
