Instrumentation for Molecular Genetics

分子遗传学实验室经验的缺乏正在通过开发与分子生物学讲座同时进行的分子生物学实验课程来弥补。实验室经验包括DNA提取和血浆分离、DNA检测和定量方法、限制性内切酶消化、限制性内切片段的连接、基因标记选择程序、琼脂糖凝胶电泳、DNA转移和杂交方法。购买了离心机和转子、电泳实验的电源、DNA定量荧光计、酶反应的孵化器和浴槽，使这个实验室能够向生物学专业和医学技术专业的学生授课。这些设备也被参加荣誉项目研究或独立学习的学生使用。这所大学将提供相当于奖金的金额。

The lack of laboratory experiences in molecular genetics is being remedied by developing a laboratory course in molecular biology that is taken concurrently with the Molecular Biology lecture component. Laboratory experiences include DNA extractions and plasmic isolations, DNA detection and quantitation methods, restriction enzyme digestions, ligations of restriction fragments, gene marker selection procedures, agarose gel electrophoresis, and DNA transfer and hybridization methods. The purchase of centrifuges and rotors, power supplies for electrophoresis experiments, fluorometers for DNA quantitation, incubators and baths for enzyme reactions allow this laboratory to be taught to biology majors and medical technology students. The equipment is also used by students enrolled in honors program research or independent study. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
