Aims, contents and method of the course

Special examples of experiments in molecular biology, practical implementation of methods reviewed in the seminar: cloning of genes (including PCR amplification) and expression in E. coli, detection of the protein by western blot analysis. Isolation of a gene, labelling and use in Southern blot analysis.

Assessment and permitted materials

Compulsory attendance; the evaluation consists of different performances: active participation and results obtained, written report, theoretical knowledge including final exam (the percentage of the subgrades will be announced by the course leader); each of the subgrades must have a positive evaluation.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

a. Minimum requirement: participation during the internship, writing a protocol, exam, b. Assessment standard: participation 50%, minutes 30%, exam 20%
