BIOL 366 - Molecular Biology

An advanced course which examines the role of gene structure, function, and regulation at the molecular level to explain biological processes. Topics include basic processes such as DNA replication, recombination, and regulation of gene expression, as well as an emphasis on experimental design and techniques. The laboratory component of the course uses a project approach to introduce experimental design and molecular biological methods as students clone and characterize a gene. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week. BIOL 356 is highly recommended prior to this course.
