This course is optimized for in-person delivery and requires attendance at all four laboratories in order to complete the lab assessments. If you are unable to attend an in-person component due to exceptional circumstances, you should contact the course coordinator at the first opportunity, explaining your circumstances. Alternative scheduling or alternative assignments may be possible. Attendance at scheduled times is required for all four laboratories.
Lectures for the course will be in person as well as live streamed via Zoom and recordings of these will be available for students who need to attend remotely. Recordings of lectures will be available for preparation of assessment.
This course builds on the fundamental genetic concepts you learned in 200-level Genetics.

Your new knowledge base will be applied to human genetics, both at the population and individual levels, with the ultimate goal of gaining an improved understanding of the genetic basis of human health and disease.
