BIOL 214 - Molecular Processes

Credits: 3

Description
An introduction to the concepts of DNA replication, transcription, translation, the control of gene expression and DNA recombinant technologies. Will also include comprehensive study of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, gene expression and molecular techniques for clinical diagnosis and research. Emphasis on current techniques to assess genomes, and gene expression.

Student Learning Outcomes

Identify the biological processes of DNA replication, transcription, and translation.
Describe factors that control gene expression.
Discuss current DNA recombinant technologies.
Compare and contrast the structure and function of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cellular machinery.
Recall and Select molecular methods for many applications.
Evaluate and interpret current journal articles on molecular biological methods of disease detection.
