Concepts in the molecular biology of Viruses are considered. The course covers molecular biological themes common to life cycles of all viruses, including virion structure, virus entry, gene expression, genome replication, assembly, release, and virus-host interactions. In addition, representative members of animal virus families are used as models to illustrate specific viological events and modern methods to study viruses. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): BMSC 200.3, 210.3, 220.3. Note: MCIM 326.3 is recommended. Students with credit for MCIM 417 or MCIM 817 or BMIS 817 may not take this course for credit..
