专业概况

在这里学什么？

Genetics and genomics is a bachelor's program for students seeking to understand how genes shape life, from fundamental cellular functions to population dynamics, and for students preparing to apply genetic and genomic concepts in such areas as medicine, biotechnology, biomedical research, agriculture, journalism, and public policy.

Advances in genome sequencing, bioinformatics, and our ability to manipulate the DNA of many organisms, including humans, have brought genetics to the forefront of many issues facing our society. These advances drive the growing need for health care providers, scientists and other professionals with a strong foundation in genetic and genomic analysis. Through coursework and diverse research opportunities, genetics majors gain broad insight into inheritance, gene function, genome organization, evolution, cutting-edge genetic technologies and therapies, and more.

A B.S. degree with a major in genetics and genomics positions students for many jobs in the biotechnology industry. Genetics and genomics majors are well prepared to pursue research-focused Ph.D. programs that provide further training for careers in biomedical and agricultural research. Genetics and genomics majors are highly competitive for admission to top medical schools, where there is a growing focus on personalized medicine, and genetic counseling programs.

Learning Outcomes

1. Demonstrate an understanding of genetic principles at the level of molecules, cells, systems, organisms, populations and ecosystems.

2. Use quantitative approaches to evaluate experimental design, critically interpret, and analyze data sets from primary research papers.

3. Integrate genetic data and apply the scientific method to formulate research questions.

4. Communicate genetic concepts to multiple audiences with written, oral and visual presentations.

5. Understand mechanisms of segregation and expression of genetic material during development and homeostasis.

6. Apply primary genetic approaches used to study biological processes, including the use of model organisms.

7. Describe how environmental influences may modify the inheritance and expression of the genetic material.

8. Apply the use of quantitative methods to implement genetic analysis, including the linkage of gene variants with traits.

9. Appreciate how the fields of genomics, proteomics and other data-driven approaches facilitate research and clinical assessment.

10. Understand the contribution of genetics analysis to elucidating population history and evolution.

11. Address the connection between genetics and trends in clinical practice, such as personalized medicine, cloning and regenerative biology.

12. Understand evolutionary processes, with current variation in human traits as its natural outcome.

13. Appreciate the contributions of genetic methods to sustainability, including food production, bio-energy generation and the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
