BIO 270 - Foundations of Molecular Biology

Students will examine key paradigms of molecular and cellular biology including mechanisms and regulation of gene expression, and the relationship between molecular structure and function. Laboratory exercises will introduce students to molecular biology techniques used to study gene expression. Methods used in lab will include recombinant DNA technology, transformation techniques, nucleic acid isolation and analysis, and protein analysis.
