BI 329 Molecular Biology
This course covers the molecular basis of
biological activity through in-depth study of
DNA. RNA and protein biosynthesis, regulation,
and functional interactions. Particular emphasis
is placed on the processes of DNA replication and
repair, RNA transcription and processing, protein
synthesis and post-translational modifications,
and the regulation of gene expression. Students
will also be introduced to various cell and
molecular laboratory techniques, including PCR,
gel electrophoresis, cloning, and bacterial
transformation, through hands-on experiments and
independent study.
