BIO 326, BIO 328, CHM 330, prior or concurrent election of BIO 435. (4)

Survey of the molecular biology of procaryotic organisms. DNA replication, DNA repair and recombination, and mechanisms regulating gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels; the interaction of these processes in complex phenomena such as ribosome biosynthesis, cell division, and sporulation. Lecture and laboratory; laboratory focus on recombinant DNA methodologies. Graded ABCDE
