BTNY 2810 - Molecular Toolbox for Plant Scientists

Credits: (4)
Experimental Course, Contact Department for More Information
This course is a hands-on introduction to molecular tools relevant in plant science. You will work independently on an overarching semester-long project (The Mystery Gene Project). Throughout the semester you will be given the skills to build the mystery gene construct through guided mini-projects. These will introduce you to basic laboratory protocols, equipment use, DNA isolation, PCR, proof-reading PCR, agrose gel electrophoresis, restriction enzymes, ligation, and subcloning. In the last section of the course, you will ‘put it all together’ and take what you have learned in the mini-projects to transform your own gene construct into the bacterium E. coli.
