Aims

The objective of this course is to introduce the students to the diversity and mostly the flexibility of genetic systems encountered in microorganisms, wether bacterias or eucaryotes (filamentous fungus or yeast). We go into detail on the different types of organization of genetic information, the modes of genetic regulation (replication and expression), the variations (mutations and rearrangements), reparations and transfers, mostly detailled on bacterias. The genetic systems of inferior eucaryotes presented in depth are nuclear or mendel heredity and cytoplasmic or non-mendel heredity.
