Lecture notes MCB2020F - Intro to Virology This section of your course will introduce you to the wonderful world of viruses: their diversity, their ubiquity, how they may be defined as organisms in their own right, and how they are different to other organisms. You will be introduced to the concept of the virocell, the virion, and the seven different kinds of genome that viruses have. I have also included an update lecture on SARS-CoV-2, for your education, and for sharing with people who would...

This section of MCB2020F covers the following three topics - Eukaryotic genome organisation, Extra-nuclear inheritance and Evolutionary genetics. In Eukaryotic genome organisation we will cover how DNA is compacted into chromosomes and how this affects gene function. We will examine chromosomal re-arrangements and changes in chromosomal number and see how this can affects the phenotype of an organism. In Extra-nuclear inheritance we will look at genome organisation in mitochondria and ch...
