- Course objectives
- Cytogenetics is one of the oldest branches of genetics. The course is targeted at undergraduate students who need a general introduction to cytogenetics. The two main goals are followed: To present to students detailing all aspect of chromosome biology and the practical teaching of modern cytogenetic techniques and methods.
- Syllabus
