Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Practical course in basic molecular biology techniques. Students will be introduced to the following techniques: DNA extraction from bacteria and yeast, DNA digests and ligations, transformation of bacteria, PCR, protein expression in bacteria, SDS-PAGE.

Assessment and permitted materials

The evaluation consists of different performances: active participation and results obtained, written report, theoretical knowledge including final exam (the final exam must be passed with success).

Examination topics

Concentrations and dilutions, buffers, plasmids and their functional elements, plasmid extraction, PCR, restriction cloning, protein expression, SDS-PAGE, DNA (Sanger) sequencing. For methods used in the practical, it is essential to remember and understand the steps and their significance (what happens at each step). For buffers used during the practical, it is essential to understand the function of each component (remembering the exact concentration of each component is a plus, but not required).
