What makes humans different from fruit flies? Why does your brain have neurons and not liver cells? This course is all about the answer to these questions: It's the genes! This course covers the chemical make-up of genes, how they're passed on through generations, how they're expressed and how that expression is regulated, how disruption in the structure and expression of genes arise and how those disruptions lead to cellular defects and disease. Prerequisite: Must have completed BIOL 2010 or BIOL 2100 or BME 2104 and either CHEM 1410 or CHEM 1810 or CHEM 1610. BIOL 3010 is not repeatable.
"Difficulty 5, Hotness 4, 如果不major生物可千万别选这节课...作业很多，很多，很多...不过Professor Cronmille是很好的教授，她会补充很多书上没有的知识，office hour也很耐心。但是我觉得这门课没有大家说的那么难，找到一个study group是最最重要的事情。考试想要考好要对知识理解的很透彻，但是各种process和enzyme的名字老师不是很爱考所以没有很多需要死记硬背的东西。然后虽然work load超级大，但是好好读书好好听课好好做作业是可以学好的，最近几次考试班里的平均分真的不低，所以想学生物的宝宝们不怕！"
