Welcome Note From TAs

Hello everyone, 

We are the TAs for this course. We are senior Ph.D. students at IIT Kanpur, and we will be helping you with the course and the assignments. We would also attend to the discussion forum and clarify the doubts on the topics discussed once the course is launched. We plan to have two live Google Hangout sessions, at the end of 2nd and 4th week of the course respectively, to have a direct interaction with the participants and to clarify doubts on the topics discussed in the course. Please note that we will not be able to handle questions on the logistics, exam venue, and other procedural issues. Our discussion will be limited to course content and doubts therein.

We will inform you in advance about the schedule of the Google Hangout session. 

Best wishes,
Bhupender and Priyanka


Welcome Note From Prof. S. Ganesh

Hello Participants:

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 soon, 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 we will be responding to your queries and doubts live. These sessions are most likely to 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 email ID please be avoided as they may not be attended to immediately.

Good luck with your studies!
Professor S. Ganesh
