Leeruitkomsten

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
  • selected second and third generation sequencing techniques
  • how DNA is modified and multiplied and can suggest ways to improve the reaction
  • how mRNA can be quantified using qPCR
  • how epigenetic regulation functions
  • selected ways of how gene expression and the function of proteins can be determined.
