BIO 269 Nucleic Acid Techniques and Molecular Cloning

4 Credit hours     90 Contact hours

Introduces Recombinant DNA technology as it is used in Biomedical Research. Covers basic information on the structure and function of DNA as a genetic material before students are guided through a research project involving the isolation and sequence analysis of a gene. Students perform hands-on laboratory techniques on non-infectious material to include PCR, gel electrophoresis, molecular cloning, and automated DNA sequencing.

Prerequisite

Successful completion of BIO 111 AND CHE 111 (grade C or higher) or permission of the Department Chair.
