Course Description

This course describes and explains the theory and practice of the 'tool kit' that modern molecular biology uses to derive information about how biological systems function and interact. Detailing a wide and comprehensive range of molecular techniques, the course covers basic molecular biology, manipulation of DNA and RNA, gene closing and gene expression analysis, studies of gene functions, and proteins. The use of antibodies as molecular tools is also considered.
