Genetics via distance learning
This program provides the most current information, knowledge, and applications in the field of genetics. Nowadays, the key to a problem affecting neurons, cells, and/or cancer may lie in the cellular and genetical research. In surveying cell biology and genetics, a person wonders whether to marvel more at the endless variety of living systems or at the fundamental similarities of the mechanisms operating in all living cells.
