-
3.00 Credits
Techniques utilized in contemporary experimental cell biology; laboratory studies designed to mimic, in practical fashion, the usual course a researcher takes in examining an experimental question relevant to cell biology. Study will include a broad range of experimental techniques including: polymerase chain reaction (PCR), recombinant DNA construction, advanced genetic analysis, protein detection, isolation and analysis, and microscopy. Prerequisite/co-requisite: completion of, or concurrent enrollment in BIOL 4455. One hr. lect., 6 hrs. lab.
-
4.00 Credits
Laboratory course covering the theory and applications of PCR, DNA sequencing and Fragment Analysis. Topics include DNA sequencing and sequence analysis, genomic PCR, quantitative PCR, RT-PCR, DNA fingerprinting and an individual project. Prerequisites: BIOL 1401 and 3121 or equivalent. One hr. lect., 9 hours lab.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to Molecular Bioinformatics. Survey of concepts and methods for assembly, comparison, and annotation of DNA sequence data. Analysis of protein structure and function. Phylogenetic analysis, database techniques, and selected molecular biology applications. Prerequisite: BIOL 3121 or equivalent, and consent of instructor. Two hrs. lect., 6 hrs. lab.
-
2.00 Credits
Quantitative treatment and analysis of physiological data using modern methods including applied statistics, spread sheets, graphical methods and data presentation. Prerequisites: BIOL 3151, STAT 3031, or consent of instructor. Not open to students with credit for BIOL 6500.
-
4.00 Credits
Physiology of metabolic, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, muscle, and nervous systems of vertebrate and invertebrate animals with an emphasis on physiological diversity and adaptation. Prerequisite: BIOL 3151 or consent of instructor. Not open to students with credit for BIOL 6504.
-
3.00 Credits
The examination of regulatory mechanisms of animal organ systems using controlled laboratory experiments, with an emphasis on experimental design and data analysis. May be taken concurrently or following BIOL 4504 (Comparative Physiology) or BIOL 4516 (Environmental Animal Physiology). Prerequisite: BIOL 3151 or equivalent, or consent of instructor. Not open to students with credit for BIOL 6506. One hr. lect., 6 hrs. lab.
-
4.00 Credits
The structure and function of the vertebrate and invertebrate nervous system with emphasis on the principles of communication, control, and sensorimotor responses. Survey of concepts of neurochemistry, feedback, bionic models, and higher brain processes. Prerequisites: BIOL 3151 or BIOL 2010 (or 2011), 2020 or consent of instructor. Not open to students with credit for BIOL 6515.
-
4.00 Credits
Survey of how animals use remarkable sensory abilities to communicate, navigate, and detect prey, predators and mates. We will focus on extreme and unusual sensory systems such as echolocation, electroreception, and magnetoreception, as well as vision, smell, touch, and hearing. Prerequisite: BIOL 3151 or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of the physiological adaptations that animals use to cope with their environments, emphasizing the physiological responses of species to extreme environments. Prerequisite: BIOL 3151 or equivalent, or consent of instructor. Not open to students with credit for BIOL 6516.
-
4.00 Credits
Exploration of the physiological effects of exposure to environmental toxicants in animals, from the subcellular to organismal levels. Concepts covered include routes of exposure, modes of action, and metabolism, as well as how toxicants are monitored and regulated. Prerequisite: BIOL 3151, CHEM 4411, or equivalents, or consent of instructor. A-F grading only.
