APPLICATIONS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

BIO3ABT

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject will introduce you to more advanced aspects of molecular genetics and analysis, including genomics and DNA sequencing; analysis of gene expression, and proteomics. The emphasis is on the genome as a whole, rather than at the level of the gene.
