SENCER
      SENCER courses and academic programs aim to 
       strengthen the learning in science, 
       technology, engineering, and mathematics 
       (STEM) disciplines. 
 When discussing education wear the 
 appropriate protective Gear! 
 Genetic Analysis 1 And 2 
     The major in genetics at Rutgers is designed 
      to prepare a student for a career in 
      research. 
     GA I and GA II are taught from a research 
      perspective as we believe that students 
      ultimately will need to be able to apply 
      basic genetic knowledge to their own 
      research. 
 Genetic Analysis 1 And 2 
     Since this course is the “feeder” course for 
      advanced genetics courses, there was no 
      question that students needed to learn 
      genetics.
     It was not my intent to “cover” more material 
      in GA I and GA II, but rather to work for 
      deeper understanding of genetics. 
     How?
  Think about the reading material
        The course has matured so no text book adequately 
          covers the material.
        Required. Molecular Biology of the Gene, Fifth Edition 
          (Hardcover) by James D. Watson, Tania A. Baker, 
          Stephen P. Bell, Alexander Gann, Michael Levine, 
          Richard Losick
         I highly recommend that you get any genetics book 
          published in the last 5 years. This will be a good ref. 
          and a source for some topics. I have placed at least 
          three such textbooks in the MSLC on the Busch 
          campus. My personal favorite is Genetics by Robert 
          Brooker.
