A practical course that will provide students with the background, experience and understanding of modern molecular biology as it pertains to the biological sciences. Emphasis will be placed on utilizing large, publicly available datasets to generate and test hypotheses about how organisms function at the molecular level. A single research theme will be used in the lab for investigation of biological processes in model organisms, extending into non-model species. Weekly hours: 1 Lecture hours and 6 Practicum/Lab hoursPermission of the department is required. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 316 or BMIS 340. Note: BIOL 301 is recommended.
