Credits
This is a 3-credit course.
Description
The course is designed to introduce genetics so that even if you haven’t studied it before you will develop an understanding that will inform your practice in work. The context is of course is forensic science but rather than jump straight into forensic DNA analysis this is a foundation course, designed to give a framework of human molecular genetics. We will also look at some of the important issues in genetics including genome mapping and the role of gene dysfunction in disease. The first module is an overview and there is no marked assignment work but it is very important that you use the assignment time to check out some websites that will be very useful later on.
*Please note that this syllabus is subject to change. Use the updated syllabus in Canvas as the official course syllabus.
