Document Summary
Bio 130 - lecture 1 - introduction to cell and molecular biology. Exam only covers the second section of the course (+ labs) Course designed as a foundation for future courses. Cellular and genomic diversity is the first topic. E coi, yeast (easy to grow), arabidopsis, c elegans, drosophilia (fruit fly), mouse. Used as the normal hosts used in lab experiments, such as the glowing mouse and modeling population growth, etc. Molecules of life will be covered, the basics. Dna, rna, proteins, will lead into advanced topics such as genomes, chromatin, repair/replication (very important), genes (briefly - most will be covered in second year) and genomics (heavily covered), etc. Rna: general char of transcription, processing, and transcriptomics (technique to study what is transcribed in a cell such as microarrays) Proteins: translation, post-translation processing, and proteomics (expression, structure, and interactions. Bioinformatics ties everything together, seen in lab 2)
