| Course description |
| This course describes basic techniques relating to a recombinant DNA experiment and outlines how the individual technique is being used in each application of medical treatments and industries. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to: (1) Recognize the basic techniques for recombinant DNA experiments. (2) Make experimental plans for the research using recombinant DNA technologies including cloning and functional analysis of genes. (3) Develop the viewpoint to understand how genetic engineering techniques are applied to medical treatments and industries, from application or research examples. |
