Methods in Cytogenetics and Human Genetics
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
Il corso si propone di fornire le basi formative e metodologiche che consentano di approfondire la variabilità genetica normale e patologica nell'uomo.
Ulteriore finalità del corso è quella di approfondire le caratteristiche della struttura del genoma umano e dei meccanismi molecolari alla base di processi che regolano l'espressione genica.
