GENE-222 : Biochemical and Molecular Genetics

This course provides academic credit for independent research. In most cases, the research conducted in this venue is research under the guidance of a faculty mentor of the student's choosing leading to a master's thesis or doctoral dissertation. This course is structured so that Masters and Doctoral students can focus on and perform literature research, identify mentors & research projects, and conduct thesis and dissertation research in the Department of Genetics & Human Genetics. Because research is rarely completed in a single semester, this course may be taken repeatedly until the research is concluded and the thesis or dissertation judged to have passed.
