This course introduces students to basic techniques in molecular biology and genomic science. Lectures will cover theoretical aspects of research in the biologic sciences, such as cloning, PCR, DNA sequence analysis, genomics, and proteomics. In laboratories, students will work on projects to learn current methodologies in molecular biology such as keeping laboratory notebooks, basic cloning, PCR, gel electrophoresis, use of sequence databases, and analysis of transcriptomics/proteomics datasets. Two hours lecture, four hours lab per week
