BIO 310 - Microbial Genetics


Microbial genetics is essential for understanding molecular biological studies, the manipulation of eukaryotic organisms, and for practical applications in diverse areas of life sciences. In microbial genetics the study of genomes, genes and gene expression in prokaryotes is a means to understanding biology. Microbes have been used extensively to explore the structure, function, regulation, and evolution of genes. In this course we will learn about the evolution of microbes, the regulation of gene expression, heredity and transferable genetic elements, tools for genetic manipulation, and the mechanisms involving the repair and maintenance of DNA integrity. We will also talk about current genetic technologies and techniques used in research in the “omics” era. Prereq(s): BIO 121  and CHM 121  or CHM 131   Lab required.
