Prerequisite:
BI204 and additional course work in molecular cell biology (such as BI304, BI414 or BI440)
Lab fee required.
This course is an advanced laboratory for hands-on training in the experimental
techniques of molecular biology. In addition to formal lab training and
discussions, students will have access to the lab to work on projects intended
to produce publication-quality data. Students will be follow a single research
project throughout the semester. Methods taught include: recombinant DNA
and cloning techniques, DNA sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, histology
