Human Molecular Genetics: Welcome note from Prof. S.Ganesh, the instructor of the course
Welcome to the course, Human Molecular Genetics . This is an exciting topic, and this course would provide an overview on the genetic basis of characters that we see in humans. The lectures for the first week, to be released on March 14, will be basic in nature, connecting the known facts of the central dogma in biology with the study of human genetics. I advise you to go through the lectures, though introductory in nature, as that will form basis for the topics to be covered in later part of the course. We will have periodic assignments that would test your understanding. To help you with the process, we will also be posting links for reading materials, and handouts with practice problems. We also plan to have two live interactive sessions, via the Google Hangout platform, wherein I will be responding to your queries and doubts live. These sessions are most likely will be conducted on a Saturday or a Sunday, and the details (date/time) will be posted to you in advance.
I also advise that you send us any course related queries using this course portal as this is being attended to by my senior PhD students (TAs) as well, and you will get a quicker response. Emails to my personal IITK login please be avoided as they may not be attended to immediately.
Good luck with your studies!
Professor S. Ganesh
