This is an introductory course designed primarily for students in the undergraduate or masters programs interested in biomedical research, genetic counseling, medicine, and clinical genetics. This course is expected to introduce rapid advancements in our understanding of the role of human genome in health and disease. We would introduce key concepts of inheritance of human traits, pedigree analysis, and chromosome organization. Molecular biology tools used for understanding the genome, gene structure and gene mutations, gene mapping and gene cloning strategies will also be covered. Objectives and outcome of human genome project and the HapMap project will also be discussed at the end.

The development of genomic tools and data sets has transformed the nature of medical discovery, enabling scientists to undertake comprehensive and powerful explorations rather than being confined to testing hypotheses focused on candidate pathways. With the completion of the first reference sequence of the human genome,3 attention shifted from searching for genes to discovering their functions.
