    Obiettivi formativi

    The aim of this course is to teach the principles of transmission, modification and expression of heritable traits in human individuals, the main tools of Human Molecular Genetics, the principles of Cytogenetics and Genetic Variation in Individuals and Populations, as well as methods of Human Gene Mapping and Disease Gene Identification.

    Prerequisiti

    Basic principles of transmission, modification and expression of heritable traits in eukariotic cells.

    Metodologie didattiche

    The topics of the course will be treated with the help of Power Point presentations, video clips, classroom or laboratory exercises, reading of scientific articles. Expected learning outcomes: Knowledge and understanding of principles of transmission, modification and expression of heritable traits in human individuals and populations

    Metodi di valutazione

    The exam consists in passing a written and oral test. The written test consists of a series of questions with multiple choice questions. Passing the written test will give access to the oral exam. The final grade of the exam will be an average grade between that given in the written and oral exam.

    Altre informazioni

    The teacher is available for reception students on the days indicated on the card teaching and on request forwarded via email.
