The course is designed to investigate the contributions microorganisms in gene regulation and genetic structure; integrate knowledge from biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics with microbiology. It will also enable students to gain critical perspectives on molecular genetics; introduce students to current problems in gene control and expression, and provide students with sufficient background to evaluate critically the current literature in microbial and molecular genetics. Some of the topics to be covered include; Essentials and the Life Cycle of microbes, chromatin structure and replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, Gene Expression in Microbial Systems, Mutation and Mutagenesis, Prokaryotic Plasmids, Conjugation in Bacteria, Transformation in Bacteria, Prokaryotic Viruses, Transposition in Prokaryotes and Lower Eukaryotes, Recombination in Prokaryotes and Lower Eukaryotes, DNA-Repair—Model Systems: E. coli and S. cerevisiae, Regulation of Gene Expression in
Bacteria and Fungi, Classic Genetic Analyses in Lower Eukaryotes- Teacher: RICHARD MAYANJA
