BEE 7600 - Nucleic Acid Engineering

(crosslisted) BME 7600  
     
Spring. 3 credits.

Enrollment limited to: graduate standing; seniors by permission of instructor.

D. Luo.

Nucleic acid engineering focuses on manipulating nucleic acid molecules in a true engineering sense as well as in the “genetic engineering” sense by treating nucleic acids (including DNA, RNA, PNA, and TNA) as both genetic and generic materials. Both biomedical and nonbiomedical applications of nucleic acid engineering, including tool kits for nucleic acid engineering and current examples of DNA-based engineering, DNA nanotechnology, and DNA-based medicine, are introduced. Efficient and effective literature reading and evaluation are emphasized.  Student presentations are required and frequent.  The class also has a project design.
