NBIK14031U Molecular Biology for Non-life Scientists
MSc Programme in Bioinformatics
The course will give a brief introduction to very fundamental
molecular and cellular biology, and is targeting students with no
life science background (e.g. students with a finished BSc
programme in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, etc.)
Subjects include:
DNA repair, replication, transcription and translation. Regulation
of gene expression, cell cycle and cell communication. Proteins,
intracellular transport, membrane transport and membrane
structures.
Knowledge:
The student will know the basics of molecular biology and
genetics, including DNA repair, replication, transcription and
translation; regulation of gene expression, cell cycle and cell
communication; proteins, intracellular transport, membrane
transport and membrane structures.
Skills:
The student will be able to understand and use basic concepts in molecular biology and genetics, including DNA repair, replication, transcription and translation; regulation of gene expression, cell cycle and cell communication; proteins, intracellular transport, membrane transport and membrane structures.
Competences:
The student will be able to communicate the basics of molecular biology and genetics and relate this to other subjects.
