It has been shown that the distribution of genes in eukaryotic genomes is not random; however, formerly reported relations between gene function and genomic organization were relatively weak.

We will illustrate these principles using examples from model organisms including Mus musculus, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster and Arabidopsis thaliana. These systems have ...

Description. This module builds upon the introduction to genetics provided by Genetics 1. A range of eukaryotic genetic systems will be considered, including humans and a number of model organisms, ...
