| Unit Description |
Lectures cover techniques for the cloning and analysis of genes from both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including Northern and Southern blot analysis, DNA sequencing and PCR, microarrays, genetic engineering and practical aspects of gene expression. The use of molecular markers such as RFLPs, microsatellites and RAPDs for genome analysis will be described. A practical workshop will include DNA cloning and analysis and Southern blotting. BCHM 530 is based on the undergraduate unit BCHM 330 with additional load consisting of extra questions on assignments and examinations requiring a greater level of understanding of the unit material is expected. |
