Course contents :
|
| Theory :
- Bacteriophages : their use to construct cDNA expression librairies.
- Expression of a gene of interest using recombinant plasmids or viruses (baculovirus, retrovirus, vaccinia virus,...);
- Transgenic animals, Gene therapy;
- siRNAs and potential applications. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| To present the strategy leading to the cloning, the identification and the expression of a gene of particular interest with special emphasis on animal cells.
After completing the course the student is expected to
be able to propose the cloning of a gene in different expression systems |
