Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Lecture
Lab Hour(s): 3

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosome structure; DNA replication, repair, transcription, RNA translation and processing, and mechanisms of gene regulation will be studied. In the laboratory, students will characterize an unknown gene by practicing techniques such as genomic DNA isolation, plasmid transformation and purification, restriction mapping, Southern blotting, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
