Introduction of Molecular Biology to the Undergraduate Curriculum

这个项目是对当前分子生物学课程的补充 有一个动手实验室，专注于实验， 导致本科生的研究项目。 设备包括： 水平凝胶电泳（1/学生对，Hoeffer）， 照相材料（宝丽来），微量离心机 （Eppendorf）、台式培养箱（Precision）和用于 PCR（热循环仪，真空吸印仪）。 练习包括： 质粒分离，限制性酶切图谱，Southern杂交 杂交，cDNA文库构建，筛选 技术和PCR反应。 该机构有一个高 少数民族（59%为西班牙裔）。

This project supplements a current molecular biology course with a hands-on labortory focusing on experiments that will lead to undergraduate research projects. Equipment includes: horizontal gel electrophoresis (1/student pair, Hoeffer), photographic materials (Polaroid), a microcentrifuge (Eppendorf), a benchtop incubator (Precision) and material for PCR (thermal cycler, vacuum blotter). Exercises include: plasmid isolation, restriction mapping, Southern hybridizations, construction of cDNA libraries, screening techniques and PCR reactions. The institution has a high enrollment of minorities (59% Hispanic).
