BIO 178: Microbiology Literature (BIO 278)

For advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students. Critical reading of the research literature in prokaryotic genetics and molecular biology, with particular applications to the study of major human pathogens. Classic and foundational papers in pathogenesis, genetics, and molecular biology; recent literature on bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella, Vibrio, and/or Yersinia. Diverse experimental approaches: biochemistry, genomics, pathogenesis, and cell biology. Prerequisites: Biology Core and two upper-division courses in genetics, molecular biology, or biochemistry.
Terms: Win | Units: 3
Instructors: Long, S. (PI)

BIO 181: Human Genetic Variation

The geographic distribution of human genetic variation; the genetic perspective on ancient and recent human migrations; quantitative methods for inference of human evolutionary history from patterns of genetic variation. Connections of human genetic variation to current topics such as ancestry testing, DNA forensics, and identification of disease genes. Prerequisites; Bio or HumBio core, calculus.
Terms: Win | Units: 3

BIO 182: Modeling Cultural Evolution (BIO 282)

Seminar. Quantitative models for the evolution of socially transmitted traits. Rates of change of learned traits in populations and patterns of cultural diversity as a function of innovation and cultural transmission. Learning in constant and changing environments. Possible avenues for gene-culture coevolution.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Feldman, M. (PI)

BIO 183: Theoretical Population Genetics (BIO 283)

Models in population genetics and evolution. Selection, random drift, gene linkage, migration, and inbreeding, and their influence on the evolution of gene frequencies and chromosome structure. Models are related to DNA sequence evolution. Prerequisites: calculus and linear algebra, or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

BIO 188: Biochemistry I (BIO 288, CHEM 181, CHEMENG 181, CHEMENG 281)

(CHEMENG offerings formerly listed as 188/288.) Chemistry of major families of biomolecules including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and cofactors. Structural and mechanistic analysis of properties of proteins including molecular recognition, catalysis, signal transduction, membrane transport, and harvesting of energy from light. Molecular evolution. Satisfies Central Menu Area 1 for Bio majors. Prerequisites: CHEM 33, 35, 131, and 135 or 171.

BIO 189: Biochemistry II (BIO 289, CHEM 183, CHEMENG 183, CHEMENG 283)

Focus on metabolic biochemistry: the study of chemical reactions that provide the cell with the energy and raw materials necessary for life. Topics include glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the metabolism of glycogen, fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleotides as well as the macromolecular machines that synthesize RNA, DNA, and proteins. Medical relevance is emphasized throughout. Satisfies Central Menu Area 1 for Bio majors. Prerequisite: BIO 188/288 or CHEM 181 or CHEMENG 181/281 (formerly 188/288).
Terms: Win | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci
Instructors: Dunn, A. (PI)

BIO 18Q: Plant Evolutionary Ecology

Plant EcoEvo analyzes the conceptual basis of ecology and evolution from the plants' perspective. After a broad overview of the biomes of the world, it explores population ecology, community ecology and biotic interactions. This is followed by an analysis of biodiversity from the botanical perspective and closes with a discussion of anthropogenic impact on plants. The course is based on lectures and practical activities (discussion of selected papers; analysis of data; laboratory activities, 2 field trips). Emphasis: Latin American ecosystems.
