In this special topic class, we will discuss recent primary research articles reporting breakthroughs in technologies in Cell and Developmental biology, including CRISPR-Cas technologies, Optogenetic control of gene expression and cell activity, as well as recent development in Proteomic, chromatin and RNA technologies. The goal is to stimulate inspirations for applying new technologies in graduate students’ own thesis research.
53110	Conference	LJS	3:00PM -4:50PM	W	Location Pending	Stubbs, L	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Functional Genomics Section Info: Functional Genomics in Principle and Practice This course is focused on experimental and bioinformatics tools available for functional genomics, primarily for the analysis of animal genomes with high-throughput sequencing technologies and sequence data analysis, tailored to experimental biologists. Lectures will cover experimental design and methods as well as analytical issues, supported by reading of primary literature. Assignments will include the use of online or command-line bioinformatics tools. Familiarity with eukaryotic molecular genetics is needed but advanced programming skills are not required. This course will meet in 607 IGB. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
54165	Conference	MUG	11:00AM -12:50PM	T	Location Pending	Gillette, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 2 hours Section Info: Current Issues in the Biology of Neurons and Glia
63840	Lecture-Discussion	THD	2:00PM -3:20PM	R	ARR Burrill Hall	Nelson, E Tsai, N	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Spec Topics in Health &Disease Section Info: This course will explore recent advances and current challenges in the fields of health and disease. Critical assessment of journal articles and introduction to modern experimental techniques will feature prominently. This will be a largely discussion based course with interspersed lectures and student presentations. Topics will be chosen based on the requests of the students, but can include cancer, endocrine and developmental disorders, aging and modern pharmacology. This course would be of interest to graduate students in any life science. This class will meet in 501 Burrill. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
