Course description
Molecular biology II is the advanced course of molecular biology I. With the comparison to the prokaryotes on the following basic aspects, the students will learn 1) the structure of genome and gene, 2) DNA replication, transcription, and translation, and 3) the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. This course will further help the students to understand the molecular biology of the cells containing cancer-related genes.

Class code: pgvurqs
Expected Learning
By the end of the course, the students should have to understand the biological phenomenon of eukaryotes on the molecular level.

Assessment/Grading
The students will be evaluated by their performances on the reports, the mid-term examinations, and the final examinations.
Message from instructor(s)
The students will expand their knowledge on molecular biology, if they well understand the gene regulation in prokaryotes which were taught on Molecular biology I. Furthermore, I hope the students can always explain what they have learned in this course generally in their own words.
