Course description
Genetic engineering had been emerged in 1970s, and now it is widely used in industrial and agricultural issues. For example, recently a number of GM crops were developed and commercially available. In this course, basics of genetic engineering, technical aspects of molecular biology and several examples of GM crops will be covered.
Expected Learning
The standard of this lecture is to understand molecular biology and genetic engineering of bacteria and plants.
