Hi, Here are two MCB announcements, one about a great new course, the other about volunteers needed - all levels of MCB students welcome! ~Anne ^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^! 1.

MCB C145, Genomics, now available for enrollment We have just added a new course to the curriculum, MCB C145, which will be taught in Spring 2006 on TuTh 11-12:30, CCN #58539, 110 Barker. I've listed a very brief syllabus below so that you can see the content of the course. This counts as a course that satisfies Elective B in the GG & D major. It has only MCB 102 or 110 as pre-reqs, so should appeal to many of you. Genomics -- Molecular And Cell Biology (MCELLBI) C145 [4 units] Prerequisites: MCELLBI 102 or MCELLBI 110 Description: In-depth introduction to genomics, including genome sequencing; bioinformatics; sequence annotation and analysis; complex trait mapping; DNA microarrays and their uses; proteomics; structural genomics. Also listed as PMB C145. (SP) Eisen, Brenner Proposed Syllabus for MCB/PMB C145 "Genomics" Textbook: Genomics by Philip Benfey and Alexander Protopapas 1. Introduction - Brief History of DNA 2. Recombinant DNA 3. Mapping and Sequencing DNA 4. Whole-genome Sequencing 5. Visit to Joint Genome Institute (Walnut Creek) 6. The Structure of Genomes: Genes, Regulatory Sequences and other Features of Genomic DNA 7. EST and cDNA Sequencing to Find Genes 8. Bioinformatics and Sequence Databases 9. Computational gene finding 10. Comparative genomics 11. DNA Microarrays and their Application 12. Analysis of DNA Microarray Data 13. Visit to campus Microarray facility 14. Quiz #1 15. SNP, Genotyping and High-throughput genetics 16. Mapping Complex Genetic Traits 17. Proteomics 18. Structural genomics 19. Visit to Advanced Light Source (LBNL) 20. Biological Networks 21. Microbial Genomics 22. Environmental Genomics 23. Quiz #2 24. Genomics and Human Origins 25. Genomic Medicine 26. Pharmaco- and Chemical Genomics 27. Genomics and Agriculture 28. Environmental genomics 29. Ethical Issues Raised by Genomics 30. Final Exam Review ^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^! 2. Volunteers needed for mcbUSA Shadow Day mcbUSA is looking for volunteers to lead a tour for high school students on Shadow Day, November 18th. The campus tour will take place from 10:00 - 11:30. We are also looking for people who would like to participate in the student panel on Shadow Day from 1:30 - 2:30. Students of all years may volunteer. Thanks!
