Genetics and Genomics
Differentiate between genetics and genomics and assess key historical events in their development Understand the relationship between genotype and phenotype and forward and reverse genetics Differentiate the terms "genome", "transcriptome", and "proteome" Appreciate the influence of environment and epigenetics on phenotype Differentiate acquired vs inherited and sample vs complex genetic diseases
20  cards
Cytogenetics of Nuclear Chromosomes
Recall the changes in number, position, and condensation state of nuclear chromosomes during mitotic and meiotic cell cycles Explain the relationship between Mendelian inheritance and the behaviour of meiotic chromosomes and gametes Understand and interpret basic pedigree analyses and karyotypes
7  cards
Biochemical Features of Nuclear Chromosomes
Describe some key components that determine their structure & function
8  cards
The Mitochondrial Chromosome
Differentiate between the proeprties and significance of nuclear and mitochondrial chromosomes
6  cards
DNA Sequence Organisation of the Human Genome
Explain how DNA was shown to be the genetic material Describe some DNA analysis techniques Recognise the key DNA sequence features in the human genome including their arrangement and significance
28  cards
Genetic Variation Between Species
Identify features shared between the human genome and genomes of model organisms & pathogens Infer evolutionary relationships between organisms based on genome sequence comparison Describe the mechanism by which genomes can change, and how it can result in evolution Describe the major databases cataloguing human genetic variation & be able to find relative allele frequencies of polymorphic sites Appreciate the importance of comparative genomics in modern medicine

Mapping the Genome
Explain the principles of linkage analyses Describe the difficulties of linkage analyses in humans and how they're addressed Demonstrate an understanding of key physical mapping techniques Explain how physical & genetic mapping are used together to identify functional genome sequences Describe the principles & uses of population based gene mapping methods
