Course Information
Description
Chromosomes are the repositories of our genetic material. Their evolution, dynamics, transmission and management (and the ways in which these aspects go awry) is fundamental to life. The goal of this course is to provide a broad understanding of these issues from diverse perspectives and length scales, ranging from molecules to whole chromosomes, and from genetics to biochemistry to physical and mechanical aspects, with implications for evolution and disease.
