Course description
Graduate level lecture course for aspiring molecular biologists and genetic engineers, designed to answer the questions; What can you do with your sequence once you have it? and How can you put this information into realistic biological perspective?
In 2008, 711 lecture and 712 lab have been combined into a single 2 cr course. The lecture (1 per week) will be held Tuesday, 9:55 AM in Room 175 Biochemistry Addition. The lab (1 per week) will meet Tuesday afternoon, 1:20-3:30 PM in the Digital Media Center Computer Lab of the Biotech Center.
Topics (partial listing) will include overviews of: RNA, DNA and protein structure; mechanisms of genetic change; sequence generation methods; comparison and alignment algorithms; motif recognition; 2D predictions; phylogeny calculations; database searching; discriminating coding criteria; phenotypic selection; phylogenic reconstruction; PyMol and molecular graphics and other exciting stuff.
Prerequisites: (a) graduate status, (b) Genetics 466, (c) Biochemistry 501 or equivalent.
