Modern and advanced methods and strategies of nucleic acid manipulation, and characterization of genes in cells and whole organisms are presented. Topics include PCR applications, delivery of genes into cells and animals, generation of transgenic and gene knockout animals, DNA fingerprinting, and aspects of molecular medicine such as screening approaches for genetic diseases. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPermission of the instructor required Note: Students with credit for BIOC 836 will not receive credit for this course.
