BIO 220 Introductory Molecular Biology and Genetics

This course covers the basic concepts behind our understanding of biological macromolecules and genes from both the classical genetics and modern molecular viewpoints. Mendelism and chromosomal theory will be reviewed, as well as the complex molecular mechanisms of gene expression and its control. An introduction to protein structure, folding, and function will also be included along with an overview to the powerful technology of genetic engineering and bioinformatics.
