Course description
【Class code of Google classroom:7aderoe】

Subject covered include structures of DNA and RNA, DNA replication, DNA damage and repair, translation, and regulation mechanism of gene expression of prokaryotes. The lecture also covers molecular technologies including PCR, gene cloning, and mutagenesis.
Expected Learning
Student should understand basic molecular biology in prokaryotes. Student will be able to explain fundamental molecular mechanisms of gene replication and expression, and related technologies to use specialized terminology.
Course schedule
1. Molecular biology (Introduction)
2. Structures of DNA and RNA
3. DNA replication I
4. DNA replication II
5. DNA damage and repair
6. Transcription
7. Translation
8. Report Exam
9. Regulation mechanism of gene expression I
10. Regulation mechanism of gene expression II
11. Virus and plasmid
12. Transposon and gene recombination
13. Technologies for molecular biology I
14. Technologies for molecular biology II
15. Final exam
Prerequisites
Students entering this class are assumed to have taken Microbiology in the first semester, and master technical terms and knowledge on biology.
Required Text(s) and Materials
None specified. Printed materials will be distributed as appropriate.

Assessment/Grading
Your final grade will be evaluated by exercises in every class (20%), mid-term (40%) and final exams (40%).
Message from instructor(s)
This lecture mainly focuses on prokaryotes and viruses. I hope the students try to understand the difference of biological systems between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The subject of prokaryotes will be provided in Molecular Biology II.
