EPIGENETICS

GENETICS 525
Course Description

Introductory course in epigenetics - the layer of chemical information that sits on top of the genome - that switch genes 'on' or 'off'. Will introduce how the epigenome, in collaboration with the genome, controls versatile biological processes and cell fates. Will also cover the latest advances of how humans can control their own epigenetic destiny by lifestyle, diet, and other environmental factors.

EPIGENETICS AND THE BRAIN

PSYCH 603

Explore nature versus nurture by understanding gene by environmental interactions. Study how the environment and our behavior can modify our genome (epigenetics). Focus on how our behavior and overall health can be shaped by markings on our DNA, and how these markings may be passed onto future generations.
