Aims
To enable students to understand the importance of the molecular mechanisms underpinning molecular biology. This will then allow for the introduction of omics and model organisms which will be further developed at level 5.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Acquire a knowledge and understanding of the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication, transcription and translation processes and mechanisms of DNA damage and repair.
2.
Describe the basis of genetics and heredity
3.
Demonstrate familiarity with and a basic understanding of the techniques used in recombinant DNA technology
4.
Develop the skills required to communicate scientific ideas in writing to a non-scientific audience
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Basic molecular biology: DNA structure/function, histones, prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replication, prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription, translation, operons, post translational modification, DNA repair.
Basic genetics and introduction to omics and model organisms.
Recombinant DNA technology.
Module Overview:
This module enables you to understand the importance of the molecular mechanisms underpinning molecular biology. This will then introduce you to omics and model organisms which will be further developed at Level 5. Tutorials linked to subject material as well as personal development planning are embedded in this module.
