Development of Molecular Biology Laboratory Exercises for Large Introductory Biology Classes

生物学的学生必须学习的理论基础， 分子生物学，并获得实践经验， 在这个至关重要且快速的过程中使用的方法 扩大领域。 该项目将建立一个教学 生物学导论中的分子生物学单元 加州大学圣塔分校实验课程 芭芭拉 本单元由两个三小时实验室组成 练习，学生将探索DNA提取 从完整细胞，限制性内切酶消化， DNA电泳分离和DNA片段分析 大小和一个小时的计算机辅助限制性图谱 锻炼的

Students of biology must learn the theoretical basis of molecular biology and also acquire practical experience with the methods used in this critically important and rapidly expanding field. This project will establish an instructional unit in molecular biology in the Introductory Biology Laboratory Curriculum at the University of California at Santa Barbara. This unit is composed of two three-hour laboratory exercises, in which students will explore extraction of DNA from intact cells, restriction endonuclease digestion, the electrophoretic separation of DNA, and analysis of DNA fragment size, and a one-hour computer-assisted restriction mapping exercise.
