| Description | This introductory course explores the process of doing scientific research in a molecular biology lab. Students learn numerous techniques in the lab, including DNA isolation, PCR, gel electrophoresis, restriction enzyme mapping, cloning, and basic microscopy. Students engage in semester-long research projects in which they carry out experiments, collect and analyze data, and report their conclusions in written and oral formats. This course is intended for students with little or no experience in a molecular biology lab, and it prepares students for more advanced molecular lab courses and training. |
