An introduction to molecular methods used to analyze the structure of genes and genomes, including DNA sequencing, cloning, restriction mapping and bioinformatic tools. Techniques to monitor transcript and protein abundance, protein-protein and DNA-protein interactions will also be covered. [Note: BIOL 240 is recommended. Recommended for students intending to take upper year molecular biology courses. Courses requiring this as a prerequisite are: BIOL 342, 335L, 365, 366, 428, 431, 434, 438. Formerly BIOL 208. Offered: F,S] Prereq: BIOL 130, 139/239; Antireq: BIOL 330
