BIOLOGY 320
Molecular Genetics and Genomics
Amy Bejsovec
Description from DukeHub
This course explores how the linear DNA sequence produces 3-dimensional structure and function in all living organisms. Key concepts include genome organization, chromosome structure, genetic screens to discover essential cell components, transmission of genetic and epigenetic information, cell- and tissue-specific gene expression, and the experimental manipulation of genetic material for basic research. Course will emphasize the process of scientific discovery and methods of analysis that are essential to modern understanding of molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics. Prerequisite: Biology 201L and Biology 202L, or Biology 203L.
Skills
No skill passed the confidence bar. Weak matches go to review instead of this page: an AI pass that has to quote the description, then a person.
AI-resilient: 0 of 5
- No: Physical, lab or field work
- No: Live work with people
- No: Judgment someone is accountable for
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
