Training under the Empirical Track is focused on experimental techniques.
There are five suggested specializations to choose from for students interested in concentrating in the Empirical Track: 1) Model Systems, 2) Population Genetics, 3) Human Genetics, 4) Developmental Genetics, and 5) Genomics & Systems Biology. These five course tracks are suggestions. GGSB encourages students to explore other areas of interest as well.
For the Empirical Track, four [4] required courses and four [4] graded electives must be taken, one of which may be a reading course. The electives can be selected according to the student’s interests and the availability of courses.
Four Required Courses:
Genetic Analysis of Model Organisms AND Genomics and Systems Biology
Plus One of the Following Two Courses:
Molecular Biology I OR Molecular Biology II
Plus One of the Following Four Courses:
Fundamentals of Molecular Evolution OR Principles of Population Genetics I OR Evolutionary Genomics OR Human Variation & Disease
Plus Four Four Electives (see course descriptions link below for a list of suggested elective courses)
