2500890 Genetics | OB | 3 | 2 |
It would be appropriate to have passed and achieved the competences corresponding to the subjects: Molecular biology of eukaryotes, Cytogenetics and Human Genetics. A part of the seminars will be conducted in English and therefore it would be better for students to have a minimum level of knowledge of English in order to continue the course.
The main objectives of this subject are:
Theory
Causes of phenotypic changes
Hybridization of nucleic acids
Blotting techniques
Molecular cytogenetic techniques
Amplifiers for PCR
Analysis of amplification and PCR products
Quantitative PCR
General techniques of SNP detection
Use of microarrays
New sequencing techniques
External seminars
It will consist of seminars given by specialists on the molecular genetic diagnosis of various genetic specific diseases or groups of diseases, which includes specific clinical cases.
Seminars given by the students
The content will be agreed with the responsible professor.

Theory classes: The student acquires their own scientific knowledge of the subject attending lectures: master classes with ICT support, which will complement with the personal study of the exposed topics. The material used in class can be found by the student in the "teaching material" tool of the Virtual Campus. These classes are conceived as a fundamentally unidirectional method of transmitting knowledge from the teacher to the student that forces them to develop autonomous learning strategies outside class.
Classes of external seminars: The knowledge acquired in the theory classes and the personal study is complemented in the seminars where specialists in the field of Clinical Genetics present the cases in which they work in which the techniques studied in the theory classes. Some of thesewill include the analysis ofspecific clinical cases. A part of the external seminars will be given in English.
Seminars given by students: Students will have to make a seminar in an oral presentation format with ICT support. These seminars will be held in groups of two students that will present cases of applications of molecular techniques in the diagnosis of genetic diseases following the model of external seminars and applying the knowledge acquired to the theory classes. The subject of the seminar will be agreed with the teacher in sufficient time. It will be valued positively that the seminars are in English.
Activities in the Virtual Campus: The student will be able to continue working with the contents of the subject through different proposals of activities that will find in the educational space of the subject in the Virtual Campus.

The content of the theoretical part will be evaluated by means of an objective examination. The corresponding note in this part corresponds to 50% of the final mark.
Students must do a seminar in a compulsory way and in groups of two. The evaluation of the seminars will be done through an exam that will include both the external seminars and the seminars given by the students. In addition, the teacher will also evaluate the exposure made by each student in the seminars and will positively value the student's exposure in English. The mark of this evaluation will correspond to 45% of the final mark, of which 50% corresponds to the examination of seminars and 50% to the evaluation made of the seminars given by the students.
Finally, theactive participation of the students in the various activities proposed in the teaching area of the subject on the Virtual Campus will also be evaluated (5% of the final grade).
The exhibition of the internal seminar in English will raise 0.5 on 10 the final global mark.
The student interested in improving the final grade may present a final examination of recovery of either part (theory and seminars). Introducing the recovery implies the resignation of the previously obtained note.
In order to pass it, we must draw a weighted final grade ≥ 4.9. The student who has not obtained this note is suspended or will be considered "non-evaluable" if it has not been submitted to any exam.
To be eligible for the retake process, the student should have been previously evaluated in a set of activities equaling at least two thirds of the final score of the course or module.Thus, the student will be graded as "No Avaluable" if the weighthin of all conducted evaluation activities is less than 67% of the final score
