BIOL 2710 - Biotechnology I

(3 CR, 2T + 1L)

The goal of this course is to provide the students with the core conceptual foundation and hands on experience required to perform basic laboratory techniques used in a biotechnology laboratory. It is essential that these skills are mastered, since this will be the basis for all of the techniques used in future courses in this program. This class will provide theory and experience in lab safety and measurement, bacterial transformations and cloning, recombinant DNA, gel electrophoresis, tissue culture and basic bioinformatics skills.
