BIOL 530 - Molecular Genetics

(3 credits)

This course provides an in depth investigation of the different molecules essential for proper cellular function. An emphasis will be placed on following specific molecules and mechanisms involved in gene expression how they relate to development and human disease. DNA, RNA and protein structure will be examined and as well as their roles in genome organization and gene expression. Experimental techniques used in Molecular Biology Labs as well as in Biotechnology will also be covered. Prerequisites: BIOL 241, BIOL 308, BIOL 310 and CHEM 340 or CHEM 350; or instructor permission. Grade only. Offered annually.
