Note
One of two required courses for biochemistry graduate students. May be taken before or after Chem 581.
Learning Outcome
Understand methods for studying the structure and function of nucleic acids and methods for manipulating gene expression in living systems.
Learning Outcome
Design appropriate experiments and apply the techniques of nucleic acid biochemistry to their own research problems.
Learning Outcome
Communicate this understanding in both oral and written formats. [
Learning Outcome
Interpret and critique data obtained using these methods as reported in the primary scientific literature.
Learning Outcome
Describe how genetic information is stably maintained, how it is expressed, and how that expression is regulated, with an emphasis on the mechanism by which molecular machines perform these processes.
