This one semester, three-credit course teaches the fundamentals of molecular genetics, biotechnology, and modern genetics. It is designed primarily for non-science majors, but prospective chemists, physicists, engineers, and computer scientists might find it interesting as well. A major feature of the course is that all students are required to carry out a research project (click on the "Research" icon at the left for more information). To help them carry out their research projects, we have provided an extensive set of course-specific Internet resource material.
If you are having problems accessing or using the materials in the course, please refer to the "Frequently Asked Questions" section by clicking on the appropriate icon at the left. If you continue to encounter problems, contact Professor Sofer.
The course software is Internet-based and has been tested with a variety of browsers running on various computers. Make sure that you are running a modern browser and the following browser plug-in: Flash 6.0. Most browsers come with Flash already installed.
