BIOL 448 - Molecular and Microbial Genetics

Credits: 4

This course in molecular genetics will cover the concepts and the molecular mechanisms in genetics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Students will study the molecular processes underlying gene structure and function, will learn the major components and their basic structures in molecular genetics, will understand the molecular mechanisms of major biological processes such as gene expression and regulation, and will learn to interpret the results from the literature in molecular genetics. In addition, the course will provide a comprehensive coverage of the common molecular tools and their applications. Prerequisites: BIOL 204 or BIOL 371. Cross-Listed: MICR 448.
