SPRING 2010
BIOL 356-01 Honors Genetics [Mondays, 3:10 - 5pm, HH116]

NOTE:  As of 1/12/2010,  Biol 356 section is fully enrolled.  If you wish to add the course for Spring 2010, you must attend the first day of class, and you must bring your transcripts demonstrating that you have completed the prerequisite with the appropriate grade.  The transcripts may be unofficial - but your name must be printed on your transcripts.  Decision on final enrollment will take several days to finalize.
Biology 356 is a course intended for biology majors.  The course will cover advanced topics, new ideas, unsolved problems, reading of original research, and review of articles in genetics: Mendelian, molecular, and population.
•The prerequisite for Biol 356 is completion of Biol 355 (or equivalent majors genetics course) with a grade of B or better.  Completion of the prerequisite will be enforced.  Cell & Molecular Biology B.S. students have priority enrollment.
•All students who wish to enroll in Biol 356 must attend the first day of class (Monday, Jan 25) to obtain a permit number.  To expedite enrollment, each student must bring his/her unofficial SFSU transcript or SFSU DARS or transcripts from the non-SFSU campus, demonstrating successful completion of the prerequisite course.  These forms will be turned in to the instructor during the first week of classes.

BIOL 357-01 Molecular Genetics [Tuesdays & Thursdays, 9:35 - 10:50 am, TH432]
Biology 357 is a course intended for biology majors.  The course will cover current ideas in molecular biology including the transfer and expression of genetic information, the interaction and hybridization of genes, molecular mutagens, and molecular evolution.  Related “ethical questions” will also be discussed as they arise.  In this course, we will focus on the transmission and expression of genetic information.  Although the course predominantly emphasizes eukaryotic molecular genetics, we will also familiarize ourselves with prokaryotic molecular genetics.  We will consider the structure and function of the genetic material at the molecular level, replication and repair of the genetic material, and the regulation and expression of genetic information.
•The prerequisite for Biol 357 is completion of Biol 355 (or equivalent majors genetics course) with a grade of C- or better.  Completion of the prerequisite will be enforced.  Cell & Molecular Biology B.S. students have priority enrollment.
•Successful registration (touch-tone) in Biol 357 is not a guarantee of enrollment--successful completion of the prerequisite must be confirmed.
•All students who wish to enroll in Biol 357 (whether you are currently registered or wish to add the class) must attend the first day of class Tue, Jan 26).  To expedite enrollment, each student must bring his/her unofficial SFSU transcript or SFSU DARS or transcripts from the non-SFSU campus, demonstrating successful completion of the prerequisite course.  These forms will be turned in to the instructor during the first week of classes.
•Molecular Genetics Textbook (available at SFSU Bookstore)
Title:    Molecular Biology of the Gene
Authors:    James D. Watson, Tania A. Baker, Stephen P. Bell, Alexander Gann, Michael Levine, Richard Losick
Edition:  6th Edition, 2007 (Publisher, Benjamin Cummings/Pearson)
