中文简介:
本课程将探索与X染色体相关的各种引人注目的生物现象。我们将研究几种X连锁突变的遗传基础和意义。我们还将讨论为什么男性比女性更有可能表现出X连锁特征。我们将研究X染色体基因表达在哺乳动物,果蝇和蠕虫中均衡的不同机制,以及这些机制如何产生不寻常的表型。在我们对X染色体的讨论中,我们将使用最近和经典的主要研究论文来了解这种染色体的迷人生物学。本课程是麻省理工学院生物系提供的许多高级本科研讨会之一。这些研讨会专为有兴趣使用初级研究文献的学生量身定制,以便在高度互动的环境中讨论和了解当前的生物学研究。高级本科生研讨会的许多讲师都是博士后科学家,他们对教学非常感兴趣。
课程简介: This course will explore a diverse collection of striking biological phenomena associated with the X chromosome. We will examine the genetic basis and significance of several X-linked mutations. We will also discuss why men are more likely than women to display X-linked traits. We will look at the different mechanisms by which X chromosome gene expression is equalized in mammals, flies, and worms and how these mechanisms can yield unusual phenotypes. Throughout our discussions of the X chromosome we will use both recent and classic primary research papers to learn about this chromosome's fascinating biology. This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting. Many instructors of the Advanced Undergraduate Seminars are postdoctoral scientists with a strong interest in teaching.
关 键 词: X染色体; 哺乳动物; 基因突变
