Basic knowledge of structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome, aseptic microbiological techniques, and preparation of chemical solutions. Participants should have already passed basic practicals from organic and anorganic chemistry and microbiology. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 150 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/150, only registered: 107/150 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 17 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students should be able to isolate and analyze genetic material including chromosomal and plasmid DNA.
- Learning outcomes
- Student will be able to:
isolate plasmid DNA of sufficient quality and quantity;
analyze isolated genetic material by basic methods of molecular biology such as restriction endonuclease cleavage and electrophoresis;
prepare sufficient amount of PCR product of the gene of interest;
create the construct of the plasmid vector and the insert of the gene of interest and perform the transformation of competent cells;
use theoretical knowledge of other methods and principles in subsequent laboratory practice - Syllabus
- This course include the practical tasks to learn the basic methods of molecular biology, including: Preparation of basic chemical solutions Isolation of plasmid DNA Determination of DNA concentration and purity Restriction cleavage Electrophoresis PCR Centrifugation
