Description:

Modern genetic techniques have revolutionized the biological sciences, and an understanding of genetics is essential to most fields of biology, from wildlife and conservation biology, to biotechnology and medical research. This course builds upon students' basic understanding of genetics to develop new molecular genetic skills, a better understanding of experimental approaches in genetics, and the ability to access and organize genetic information from the burgeoning bioinformatics databases. The class meets for two three-hour periods each week that will be divided between lecture and laboratory work. In addition, students may be required to work in the laboratory outside of scheduled class time, depending on the nature of the experiments conducted. This course satisfies the cell/molecular elective area. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111, 210 and CHE 105, 106. Recommended: CHE 205. Alternate Years, Spring '11.
