|
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
|
||||||||
| Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program | ||||||||
|
Learning unit contents :
|
||||||||
| The course "Application of molecular biology and genetics" will be devoted to the integrated practical application of the concepts seen in the General genetics and Molecular biology classes. This exercise will include the collection of biological material, the molecular analyze in the laboratory and the interpretation of results. | ||||||||
|
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
|
||||||||
| At the end of this class, the student must have assimilated the theoretical bases of the most common techniques of molecular biology and genetics. He should also be able to understand and perform a series of techniques in the laboratory. He should be able to interpret the experimental results obtained during the practical course in the context of genetics. | ||||||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
||||||||
| BOTA0414-1 - Botany systematics
ZOOL2020-1 - Zoology : Evolution STAT2002-1 - Basic statistics , part 1 BIOL2010-1 - Cell Biology STAT2003-1 - Basic statistics , part 2 BIOL2015-3 - Molecular Biology |
||||||||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
||||||||
| The collection of biological material will be done as part of a visit in the field. Molecular analyzes will include a theoretical part describing the main techniques which will then be applied in a practical session. The aim will be to extract and analyze nucleic acids. A last part will include analysis and interpretation of data. | ||||||||
|
