| BIOL 400 - Trends in Biotechnology |
|
A seminar that explores the history and process of genome modification. Students read a series of seminal research papers, beginning with the earliest papers on DNA structure and molecular cloning published in the 1950’s-1970’s, continuing with historically relevant papers that built on early advances, and ending with recent breakthroughs in the field of gene editing. The process of science is evaluated for each paper, including the generation of an experimental question, experimental design using existing tools and/or developing new tools, and analysis of results. Students discuss the history, science, and social implications of each breakthrough in technology. Note: Students may not receive credit for both this course and BIOL 453 Seminar in Recombinant DNA Technology.
Prerequisites: BIOL 230 Professional Communication in Biology and either BIOL 208/208L Genetics with Lab or BIOL 262/262L Molecular Biology with Lab, or permission of instructor.
