The main purpose of this course are, that by the end of the course:
 

• The students should get a clear knowledge and understanding of the structure of the Human genome
• To understand the similarities and differences between human genomes and genomes of other organisms
• To have a clear understanding of the organization and functions of the human genome.
• To understand how genes are expressed and how the expression is controlled at different levels.
• To learn how defects in the genome can result in genetic diseases.
• To learn how the purines and pyrimidines synthesized and broken in the body and what diseases may result due to defective synthesis or breakdown.
• To have a clear understanding of the practical methods involved in the study of the human genetic material.
