Course Description

This recombinant DNA laboratory course provides students with fundamental molecular techniques involved in genetic engineering. Intensive bench training includes large scale plasmid isolation, restriction analysis, ligations, generation of recombinant DNA, preparation of a genomic library, southern blot analysis, and purification of a restriction enzyme. Furthermore, students will develop and perform PCR protocols as part of a research project analyzing a selected class of genetically modified organisms. The research project must be accompanied by authoring a formal research report to be presented in class. Students must pay a $30 supply fee when registering for this course.
