This course is designed to familiarize students with current research techniques in molecular biology and biochemistry.

Topics to be covered will include the analysis of mutant yeast strains, cloning by complementation, linkage analysis, protein purification and recombinant DNA analysis. This course may be taken concurrently with MB&B208. It provides a broad knowledge of laboratory techniques valuable for independent research at the undergraduate level (MB&B401 and 402) and beyond.
