This course is an in-depth examination of DNA and RNA structures and how these structures support their respective functions during replication, transcription, and translation of the genetic material. Emphasis is on the detailed mechanims associated with each step of gene expression.
Discussions incorporate many recent advances brought about by recombinant DNA technology.
The topic can be anything related to molecular biology. I need to okay the topic to avoid overlaps in the subject matter among your classmates. Critically evaluate existing knowledge, and specifically identify the gaps which the project is intended to fill. Discuss in detail how the proposed experiment will distinguish the various models possible, the hypotheses you have formulated, or the questions you have framed.
