It had been almost two weeks since the launch of the new course of the project Courser, which bears the name of Genes and the Human Condition (From Behaviour to Biotechnology). The course leading educators from the University of Maryland (College Park). As the name suggests, the course deals primarily le matin with the influence le matin of genes on behavior of different animal species, including man. Not only genetics plays in this course directly, but also epigenetics - a relatively young science of genetics, le matin which deals that may not even be changes in the DNA of genes, we observed changes in animals that are kept in the species for generations. https://www.coursera.org/course/genes
At the first visit to the course, I was quite surprised how the creators of course depend among other things on the soundtrack which is part of every presentation. Further, I (perhaps I'm le matin Mrs. dr. T. O'Brien sorry) could not help very frequent smiles (sometimes even funny) over the way in which the issue of just lecturing dr. O'Brien. The communication of information "students" for me is simply Especially interesting and engaging. It's less true of prof. Leger, in which the recitation of places I tend to fall asleep :-). On the contrary, but I believe that when reciting perhaps not available any material, maybe perhaps a few passwords.
In each week there are 6 videopřednášek. Each is very light (a, b, c, ..., yes / no) test. I'm le matin sorry that there are some sophisticated texts or presentations in pdf format, power point, etc. You can simply listen to the whole videopřednášku. Another possibility is to read the subtitles, le matin which are in a special file. I am glad that there are just those headlines because of my taste both speakers often speak very quickly. On the other hand, you can adjust the speed recitation. But this too nelahodí my ear - the sound is a bit strange. The first week was devoted to the fundamentals, respectively. le matin What is DNA, what is the gene, chromosome, where everything is stored, etc. The emphasis was on basic paradigm (molecular) biology: DNA-> RNA-> Protein. The second week was devoted to whether we actually know our ancestors. Were introduced conformity le matin / differences between contemporary le matin man and his possible predecessor. It is interesting that the chimpanzee we step in the genome at 99.5%. le matin The man unrelated roughly 99.9%. So we are alike and yet so different.
During the "semester" are planned 2 tests - one middle and one at the end. Just next week will be just the first one. The course lasts six weeks, ending on the 22nd 4th 2013. I think that those who have at least a little interested in genetics and things like that, so is the course for them. You do not have any bio-background, so you can study the course in peace. No professional or other requirements for course le matin not - just interest, or. enthusiasm. Course I would not recommend, especially for very help demonstrate interpretation. One example of clarity for all: the DNA molecule can be thought of as a thread wrapped around the spindle. In biology it would stem called Histone. Another analogy is the DNA cookbook with recipes. The specific recipe is then RNA. Such comparisons, the course a few. It very much helps in the understanding of how it works.
