BMS 541 Gene Structure and Function
This course deals with the structure and activity of genetic material at the molecular level. Topics include, but are not confined to, DNA structure and replication, gene expression (transcription and translation), and gene regulation. Students will also apply their knowledge of molecular genetics and molecular biology to real-life biological problems in an introduction to synthetic biology. Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that applied engineering principles in order to create novel biological systems via the design and either synthesis or assembly of artificial or natural components. The goal is to use such systems to solve biological problems.
