Efforts are underway to develop this course as a web based offering and to link appropriate portions to GMU's courses that introduce biochemistry as a critical portion of the subject matter presented. Continuation of MBI 530. Working in teams, students organize, manage and develop a DNA laboratory information management system. Laboratory-intensive course introduces the theory and practice of modern Biotechnology including recombinant DNA, gene expression, genetic analysis and associated methods.
Laboratory exercises change to reflect the more recent advances in the field.
Laboratory-intensive course presents the science and technology of DNA sequence determination and analysis. Lecture topics include DNA sequencing chemistry, biochemistry and bioinformatics used in forensic, biomedical and biotechnology applications. The course focus is on current applications, procedures, and problems associated with the use of this versatile technology. Laboratory-intensive course introduces the theory and practice of Genome Analysis including the molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatic tools for analysis of global gene expression and the detection and quantification of genes and gene products. Laboratory-intensive course introduces the theory and practice of modern Forensic DNA science including the biochemistry, chemistry, genetics, statistic, instrumentation, software, and wetware required for applications of DNA science to forensics.
