What it covers

In order to carry out any DNA manipulation a large variety of enzymes and specialised techniques are used. This unit will provide the opportunity to gain an understanding of the nature and use of the "tools of the trade" applied routinely by molecular biologists. A wide variety of applications will be explored, ranging from bioinformatics analysis of genes to production of recombinant proteins as biopharmaceuticals in bacteria.
