BIO 277: Plant Microbe Interaction (BIO 177)

Plant pathology and plant symbiosis.Topics include: prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens; molecular, genetic, and cellular basis for microbial pathogenicity and host defense; genetics and cell biology of nitrogen-fixing symbiosis and for mycorrhizal associations. Evolutionary context. Prerequisites: Biology core and two or more upper division courses in genetics, molecular biology, or biochemistry. Recommended: plant genetics or plant biochemistry.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

BIO 278: Microbiology Literature (BIO 178)

For advanced undergraduates and first- or second-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; more recent literature on prokaryotic pathogens such as Salmonella, Vibrio, and/or Yersinia. Current papers cover research approaches including biochemistry, genomics, pathogenesis, and cell biology. Prerequisites: Biology Core and two upper-division courses in genetics, molecular biology, or biochemistry.
Terms: Win, Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Long, S. (PI)

BIO 283: Theoretical Population Genetics (BIO 183)

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
Instructors: Feldman, M. (PI)

BIO 285: Evolution of Reproductive Social Behavior (BIO 185)

Seminar. Controversies surrounding theory and data for the evolution of sex, gender, and sexuality. Issues include the critique of Darwin's theory of sexual selection, and the accuracy of the metaphor of universal selfishness and sexual conflict in biological nature. Readings include Evolution's Rainbow and The Genial Gene, and primary literature.
Terms: Aut | Units: 3

BIO 286: Natural History of the Vertebrates (BIO 186)

Broad survey of the diversity of vertebrate life. Discussion of the major branches of the vertebrate evolutionary tree, with emphasis on evolutionary relationships and key adaptations as revealed by the fossil record and modern phylogenetics. Modern orders introduced through an emphasis on natural history, physiology, behavioral ecology, community ecology, and conservation. Lab sessions focused on comparative skeletal morphology through hands-on work with skeletal specimens. Discussion of field methods and experience with our local vertebrate communities through field trips to several of California¿s distinct biomes. Prerequisite: Biology core.
Terms: Spr | Units: 4

BIO 288: Biochemistry I (BIO 188, 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. Prerequisites: CHEM 135 or 171.
Terms: Win | Units: 3

BIO 289: Biochemistry II (BIO 189, 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. Prerequisite: BIO 188/288 or CHEM 181 or CHEMENG 181/281 (formerly 188/288).
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Dunn, A. (PI)
