BT 355 Advanced Techniques in Molecular Biology

Builds on the molecular techniques taught in BT 355/BIO 255 by applying them to a specified research problem. Students are presented with a research question similar to those encountered in a small biotechnology company or academic laboratory and asked to design, perform, analyze and present experiments in order to study the problem. Advanced molecular biology applications, such as automated DNA sequencing, are also introduced. This course meets in the laboratory for six hours each week.
