"What makes us human? Advances in biotechnology are revolutionizing our ability to answer this age-old question. This course provides a foundation for understanding how life works at the level of genes and molecules that interact in complex networks to drive human development, evolution, and behavior. We begin with an overview of the core principles of scientific analysis and a historical survey of the ways in which science has been used to dissect the meanings of "life" and "human being." We then move from Mendel's concept of the gene to an in-depth look at DNA in the modern age of biotechnology, with tools for reading all 3 billion base pairs of sequence in the human genome"--Cover, P. [4], guidebook.
