Biological Sciences 321GB - Molec. Genetics of Bacteria

This course is an in-depth examination of studies at the molecular level of various aspects of genetics, as expressed in bacterial and viral systems. Topics include patterns and mechanisms of DNA replication, recombination, repair and mutation; regulation of gene activity; gene-protein relationships; and genetic engineering. Both classic and modern experimental approaches are emphasized. Coursework involves both lectures and a "journal club" format with student presentations.

Prereq: BIOL-230, or BIOL-210 and BIOL-220.
