Biol 565. BIOTECHNOLOGY. Lect. 2; Lab 6.

This course is designed to introduce advanced undergraduates andgraduate students to basic recombinant DNA techniques including growth and manipulation of phages and their bacterial hosts: isolation, quantitation, and clectrophorctic analysis of DNA; restriction and ligation of DNA; cloning in lambda, M13 and plasmid vectors; site-specific mutagenesis.
