Recombinant DNA technology has caused a revolutionary change in our ability to answer basic biological questions and to make progress toward solving major biomedical and agricultural problems. This course is designed to give students who are not biology or MB&B majors an understanding of this technology and its capabilities. The applications of this technology to genetic diseases, AIDS, cancer and improved therapeutic and agricultural products will also be examined. In the process, it is anticipated that students will gain insights into some of the basic concepts of molecular biology. Although high school courses in biology and chemistry are likely to be helpful, such prior courses are not required.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
