Written exam (multiple choice, open questions)
Description of the modifications to the Q3 2020-2021 assessment procedures (Covid-19)
The exam will be a distancing written test. The review will include MCQ, True/False questions as well as short open-ended questions. The exam is individual and closed book. You will not be allowed to return to the previous questions. The weighting of practical work is 10% of the final rating (side ratios, rated exercises - final questioning) From the gene to the pathophysiology: an integrated approach - Defending a work (article) Weighting - 10% final rating You will receive a summary note via Moodle as soon as possible, detailing the precise terms of the exam.

Content of Learning Activity

After a review of the structure of DNA, its modifications and gene expression ( replication , transcription, translation and compensation ), the course will cover the main techniques related to molecular biology , the genetic engineering ( electrophoresis of DNA , DNA cloning , restriction enzyme , ...) to transgenesis ; but also more modern techniques derived from the discovery of the human genome as microarray DNA , or pharmacogenomics techniques that lead us towards personalized medicine . The exercises and practical work will illustrate the theoretical lecture. The student will learn (1) how to understand and perform an experimental protocol, (2) how to analyse data and look for information on internet, (3) how to set up the best strategy to answer a scientific question. Moreover, during a team work entitled "Du gène à la physiopathologie: une approche intégrée ", the students will have reminders of the specific biochemistry notions to realize the work. Demonstration of the use of different databases requisite to realize the work. Group exercise on a specific case from a gene acronym and a pathology.

Required Learning Resources/Tools

The lecture will be illustrated by a slide show and Power Point animations . The slide of each course will be available to students via the Moodle platform .
