Laboratory-Based Instruction in Molecular and Human Geneticsfor Teaching Faculty

尽管人类的科学和社会影响越来越大， 遗传学，基因操作的实验室指导没有 在教育阶梯上走得很远， 生物学专业的高级课程 讲习班使 与会者介绍基本的DNA操作实验室 在 新生调查课程，从而激发广泛的DNA素养 影响学生选择生物科学职业。的 讲习班向教师介绍基因组技术 分析及其在人类遗传学中的应用。10天后 夏季研讨会，参与者将参加为期两天的后续活动 第二届冬季。

Despite the growing scientific and societal impact of human genetics, laboratory instruction on gene manipulation has not reached very far down the educational ladder and is mainly confined to upper-level courses for biology majors. The workshops enable participants to introduce basic DNA manipulation laboratories in freshman survey courses and therefore stimulate broad DNA literacy and influence students to select careers in biological science. The workshops introduce teaching faculty to techniques of genome analysis and their applications to human genetics. After the 10 day summer workshop, participants will attend a two day follow-up session the following winter.
