Description
This advanced course is designed to suit students who plan to pursue research careers in molecular biology or related disciplines. The syllabus is an enhanced version of that described above for BIOC3121 and comprises a detailed analysis of gene structure and function which includes: structure and properties of polynucleotides such as DNA and RNA; structure of chromatin; mechanisms and regulation of gene replication, transcription and translation, DNA repair and the molecular biology of cancer induction; recombinant DNA technology; nulceic acid sequencing, DNA-DNA and DNA-RNA hybridisations important tools of modern molecular biology; protein production using recombinant DNA system. Practical work provides extensive experience with contemporary molecular techniques; literature surveys and web-based research will also be used to enhance the theoretical and practical aspects of the syllabus.
