Genetics as a science dealing with the heredity and variability of organisms has become an indispensable component of almost all research in biology and medicine. This prominent position has been achieved through the powerful merger of classical and molecular approaches. The goal of the course is to provide students with an explanation of the basic genetic principles. The course should give all participants a rudimentary knowledge in both classical and molecular genetics as well as to convince them that for modern biological research an understanding of genetics is essential.
