BIOL 3440 Molecular Biology
Molecular Biology is the study of gene structure and function at the molecular level. This course provides a detailed study of the molecular nature of genes, their regulation, expression, and manipulation. Emphasis is placed on experimental analysis and understanding of genetic systems at the molecular level. The role of molecular genetics in the area of biotechnology is also studied. The three hour labs cover using molecular methods to answer research questions related to nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), gene expression analysis, gene manipulation, and bioinformatics. Students’ science communication skills are further developed through lab project presentations and Journal Clubs.
