BIOL 4300 - Molecular Biology

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Biology

Description:

The objective of this course is to help students develop a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of modern molecular biology from the standpoint of recognized molecular mechanisms for controlling basic processes in a cell, and also from an applied standpoint for using molecular biology as a tool in the laboratory. The course will take an in-depth look at traditional subjects, like manipulation of nucleic acids, the polymerase chain reaction, recombinant vectors, DNA replication, mutation and repair. It will also address some rapidly evolving fields including next-generation sequencing, microarrays, processing of RNA, microRNA and proteomics. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Understand the evolution of the science of Molecular Biology from 1953 to present. 2. Understand the technical terminology associated to Molecular Biology. 3. Apply, analyze, and evaluate Molecular Biology techniques and the corresponding outcomes. Prerequisites: BIOL 3030 and CHEM 1220. Corequisites: BIOL 4305. SP
