1. 課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>
<br>The primary reason for using model organisms in research is the evolutionary principle that all organisms 
<br>share some degree of similarity in different aspects of functionality and genetics due to common ancestry. 
<br>Genetic analysis in model organisms is a powerful approach to gaining detailed insight into biological 
<br>processes. This class offers essential information about the commonly used model organisms in biomedical 
<br>research. Professors with expertise in each model organism will cover each model's basic introductory lecture 
<br>and how to apply these model organisms in studying a range of biological questions. In addition, the course 
<br>teaches a variety of skills that are important for every researcher in the biomedical field. At the end of the 
<br>course, the student has:
<br>1. Obtained a thorough introduction to research in the Mouse, Yeast, Xenopus, C. elegans, Drosophila, 
<br>Zebrafish,  and Arabidopsis
<br>2. Gained a basic understanding of genetics and how genetic analysis can be used to dissect biological 
<br>processes
<br>3. Acquired knowledge of critical reading scientific articles from different model organisms
<br>
