Genomics, proteomics and metabolomics are providing insights into the way living organisms function at an ever increasing level of detail. Students will develop an understanding of the "-omics" through exploring the genetic and metabolic processes common to all life as well as specialised processes that enable living organisms to function, survive and reproduce.
Lectures, laboratories, directed reading and group work.
Students must pass SCI1183
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
The theory and practice of molecular biology & biochemistry are taught in lectures and practised in laboratories, from a biological rather than medical perspective, with examples introduced from conservation biology and biodiversity studies. Students prepare a review of a current topic relevant to their course.
