Learning outcomes
The student can describe in detail:
- How CrispR-Cas functions in virus defence and how it can be used in mutagenesis
- How RNAi functions and how it is used in gene silencing techniques
- Some E. coli strains and plasmids, and how they are used in modern molecular biologic laboratories
- How organisms can genetically be modified
- Some second and third generation sequencing techniques
- How DNA is modified and multiplied and can suggest ways to improve the reaction
- How DNA can be quantified using qPCR
- How epigenetic regulation functions
- Some ways of how gene expression and the function of proteins can be determined.
Content
Molecular biology 1 will give the student an overview of modern methods and techniques that are used in molecular biological laboratories.
Literature: the teachers will supply URL's of articles that are necessary.
