The course consists of few independent lectures giving the students idea about the recent trends in genetics. The main subjects of the lectures are: cloning in animals , gene therapy, gene interactions of tumorsupressor gene TP53, dosage compensation of sex chromosome linked genes, regulation of X chromosome inactivation, mutagen testing in food, etc. The list of topics will be modified every year.
New topics from 2019:
Genome-Wide Association Studies for Human Complex Trait Genetics
DNA reparation, cell cycle checkpoints, cancer therapy (the function, regulation and interaction of selected genes/ proteins)
Oogenesis - recombination, aneuploidy, DNA reparation, mother age effect, embryo quality)

Přednáška rozšiřuje základní přednášku o aktuální témata, zahrnující především novinky z oblasti klinické genetiky,
problematiku genové terapie, epigenetiky,principu klonování, testování mutagenů v potravinách, apod. Obsah
přednášky bude pravidelně aktualizován / rozšířen podle zájmu studentů a vývoje v oboru.

Requirements to the exam
Last update: RNDr. Michaela Schierová, Ph.D. (02.05.2021)
There is an oral exam. The students are given two topics. The students who presented a topic of their choice can choose one of the topic themselves. The recent requirements (2020/21) are carefully described at Moodle.
