Cells are the smallest common denominator of;life: the simplest organisms are single cells,;while others like ourselves are composed of vast;communities of cells. In this course, we will;learn how cellular structure and function is;orchestrated by biological molecules, most;notably the genome and the proteins it encodes.;Topics will include genetic inheritance, gene and;protein regulation, cellular processes including;transport, energy capture, and signaling, the;cellular and molecular basis for disease, and;modern techniques including genomics,;bioinformatics, and microscopy. The laboratory;component will illustrate and analyze these;topics through selected experimental approaches.
Prereq: BIOL-200 and CHEM-201.; Coreq: BIOL-230L.
