Laboratory-intensive course covering the current theory and practice underlying DNA procedures and methodologies. Course provides direct instruction in current recombinant DNA laboratory techniques and their applications in molecular biology. Laboratory sessions involve experimental protocols in characterizing and cloning DNA molecules and in constructing a genomic library. Laboratory protocols will change to reflect latest advances in techniques and domains of applicability. Laboratory-intensive course covering the current theory and practice underlying mitochondrial DNA procedures and methodologies.
Course provides direct instruction in current mtDNA laboratory techniques and their applications.
Lecture topics include mtDNA biology, genetics, and biochemistry as well as forensic science applications. Laboratory sessions involve experimental protocols in characterizing mtDNA and mtDNA sequencing and analysis. Laboratory protocols will change to reflect latest advances in techniques and domains of applicability. This course can be delivered in five intensive days and is offered during summer school and intersessions at least twice a year. Laboratory-intensive course covering the science and technology of DNA polymorphism analysis.
