BIOL 061L KS -Genomics & Society

Institution: Pitzer/Scripps

Description: Genomics has revolutionized the study of medicine and biology, but has also generated complex controversies. This non-majors course (Natural Science) course will provide a foundation in the scientific principles governing the structure, function and evolution of genomes, as well as highlight key genomic technologies. Along the way, we will also place these topics in a broader ethical and social context. The course will focus on the ways genomics intersects with human society and include topics such as personalized genomics, ancestry detection, and agricultural genomics. This course does not count towards Biology-related majors.
