Università Roma Tre

hands-on classes:
cellula culture of human cells. Fixation and metaphase preparation
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) to label chromosome ends (telomeres) responsible of genomic stability
Indirect immunofluorescence to label kinetochore proteins responsible of correct chromosome segregation and thus genomic stability

The principal aim of the course in human genetics has the objective to provide students with cytogenetic and modern human genetics knowledges. Modern human genetics is based on the new researches on the mechanisms involved in inherited genes, both for physiological and pathological processes.
