Recombinant DNA Technology
Prof. Dr. Mozart Marins
March 11th to June 10th
this an Portuguese/English based discipline for brazilians and foreign students atending courses in the University of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil)
Summary of the course
The purpose of Recombinant DNA Technology course is to introduce basic theoretical and applied aspects of biotechnology techniques for the study of DNA, RNA and proteins. In classroom sessions students will gain an understanding of the nature and use of tools applied routinely by molecular biologists to generate and analyse biological data. In addition, students will practice extracting pertinent information from scientific literature and will generate brief notes modeled on the scientific literature. A wide variety of applications will be explored, ranging from human disease situations to genetic modification of crop species. In the laboratory students will apply theory and practical skills to perform standard molecular biology techniques for the isolation, manipulation and analysis of DNA.
