Overview - The purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth analysis of the fundamental knowledge and principles upon which molecular biology is based. This will include discussions of key concepts, experiments, techniques, and even some of the scientists involved, so that a realistic feel for the area can be gleaned. Mechanisms will be emphasized, since a mechanistic framework is necessary to understand regulation and gene evolution. The main topics will be: DNA replication, recombination, repair, and transcription; RNA processing and translation; and selected topics in genomics, engineering, and HIV.
