| Course Title: Conference Course: 'Bacterial Molecular Genetics' |
| Start Date: 01/24/2022 End Date: 05/09/2022 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2022 |
| Description: Bacteria existed long before humans arrived on the planet and will rule the Earth long after we have gone. These tiny organisms are experts in adapting to stressful environments and evolving to survive. In this class, we'll examine the molecular mechanisms that bacteria use to evolve. Topics will include gene and genome organization, the central dogma, the DNA damage response and mechanisms of mutagenesis, and methods of genetic exchange between bacteria. We will analyze primary literature and actual biological data to explore how bacteria are able to evolve so well. |
