BIO-262 Principles of Molecular Biotechnology


The emphasis in this course will be on major concepts of molecular biology and their relationship to the field of biotechnology. The course will focus on recombinant DNA technology, genetically engineered organisms, sequencing, gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, protein expression and analysis, and genomics. Advanced topics will include bioinformatics, protein engineering, RNA interference and biological products as therapeutic agents. This course will also expand on the concepts and applications presented in Introduction to Biotechnology (BIO-120 ) and Advanced Laboratory Techniques in Biotechnology (BIO-261 ). Upon completion of this course, students will be qualified for entry level employment or internships in the biotechnology field. Depending on the college, both BIO-261  and BIO-262 may need to be completed for credits to transfer.
