Description: 
The ability to detect, isolate and manipulate bio molecules such as DNA and RNA has created powerful tools that have been instrumental in advancing science and medicine. In BIOL 650 we will investigate the current state of the art biological tools. This course will be prefaced by a historic overview of RNA and DNA as will as other bio-molecules detailing their discovery, chemistry and the relationships between them. Subsequent lectures will then concentrate on how these molecules are manipulated and used in modern biology with a particular emphasis on methods that integrate bio molecules into systems for diagnostics, high-throughput genomics and proteomics, and imaging.
