BIO368

Study of the molecular biology of the gene with an emphasis on the structure and function of nucleic acids, as well as the expression and regulation of genes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. This course builds on skills developed in previous courses, aiming to enhance understanding and communication of scientific advances through reading and presenting primary literature, as well as writing a scientific research paper. Laboratory work focuses on an independent project utilizing bioinformatics and standard molecular biology techniques to develop CRISPR/Cas9 tools for gene editing. Prerequisites: BIO-250/251. BIO-260/261 recommended. Co-requisite: BIO-369. WRITD, Spring semester.
