BIOL 58400 - Molecular Biology and Applications Laboratory

A lab consisting of miniprojects that emphasize the applications of several molecular biological techniques, such as Southern blotting, DNA-DNA hybridization, purification and cloning of genes into plasmid vectors, and genetic engineering and PCR amplication. Applications emphasized include DNA fingerprinting in humans, evolution and systematics by comparing 18S and 16S rDNA from different species, and genetic engineering of yeast with genes encoding beta carotene.
