Advanced molecular genetics of plants and animals, bacteria and viruses, with emphasis on recombinant DNA technology and its applications.
Molecular Genetics provides a greater focus and more advanced treatment in modern genetics than the pre-requisite course BIOL 230. In this course you will build on the conceptual framework developed in BIOL230, while learning gene manipulation and molecular biology techniques in laboratories.
To be able to understand advanced molecular genetic concepts, including: 1) the regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes, SOS regulation, transposons, and gene manipulation; 2) the organization of the human genome, the human genome project, the search for disease genes (particularly those associated with cancers), and gene therapy.To be able to carry out standard prokaryotic and eukaryotic molecular genetic techniques, including: DNA isolation, restriction fragment length analysis, sequence analysis, Southern blotting and basic bioinformatic analyses.
