BIOB 476R: Gene Construction

   
Students in BIOB 476R: Gene Construction
Gene construction in action

Professor: Dr. Thom Hughes

Create new genes

This is a hands on laboratory course in which we design and build new genes. The intention is for students to get a real feeling for the practice and art of doing molecular biology.

Discovery in action

This is a course for upper level undergraduates who want to apply what they have learned in biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology.

Life in the lab

The course starts at 6 pm three times each week and goes until everyone is done. The students who get the most out of the course are curious, like to do experiments, and are willing to work long hours in an evening course.
