Analytical Methods in Molecular Biology
An introduction to molecular methods used to analyze the
structure of genes and genomes, including DNA sequencing,
cloning, restriction mapping and bioinformatic tools.
Techniques to monitor transcript and protein abundance,
protein-protein and DNA-protein interactions will also be
covered.
[Note: BIOL 140 is recommended. Recommended for
students intending to take upper year molecular biology
courses. Courses requiring this as a prerequisite are: BIOL
342, 365, 366, 428, 431, 434, 435L, 438.
Offered: F,S]

BIOL 308 LEC
Principles of Molecular Biology
Prokaryote and eukaryote genome structure and replication;
mechanisms of gene expression and regulation.
[Note: BIOL 140 recommended. BIOL 308 is recommended
for those wishing a general understanding in molecular
biology. Students intending to take several upper year
molecular biology courses are advised to take BIOL 208 and
