Course Description
MCB 250 is a lecture/discussion course that provides detailed coverage of genetic
variation, gene organization, gene expression, and gene regulation in a variety of
organisms. There are five one-hour lectures
each week (12-12:50 PM) delivered by Jack Ikeda from the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and two
discussion sections each week (Tuesday/Thursday) led by graduate teaching assistants from the School of
MCB. Both of these components will be delivered in-person. There will be no online options and the daily lectures will not be recorded, meaning you are expected to attend both lecture and discussion daily/weekly.
Discussion sessions will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays each week and attendance will be required in order to earn the points from discussion. Prerequisite:
MCB 150 (or equivalent) or consent of instructor. Credit: 3 hours. This course is available
during fall, spring and summer terms.
