Molecular Analyses

3.00 credits · Undergraduate

Prereq: BIOC 2001; declared Major or Honours in Chemistry or Biochemistry; or permission of the Department This course focuses on experiential analysis and computer modeling of key concepts of the molecular basis of biology, including nucleic acid structure, synthesis, and replication through template-directed polymerizations. The course builds on these key concepts to explore gene structure, expression, and engineering, leading to the wide-ranging applications of molecular biology to biology, medicine, and diagnostics [Note 1: Students in other programs who have the prerequisites may be admitted by permission of the instructor.] (Format: Integrated Lecture and Laboratory 6 Hours) (Exclusion: BIOC 3021; BIOC 3531; BIOL 3031)
