Faculty : Computer Science and Information Technology Programs
School : Program of Bioinformatics
Prerequisit Course : No Pre-Requisit Courses
Credit Hours : 3.00
Offered For : Under Graduate
Course Description :

This course focuses on human body structure and function. Starting at biological macromolecules, levels of organization, cells, tissues and ending at the level of human body systems (skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems). Topics include Page 83 human inheritance (from chromosomes to biotechnology), human reproduction (male and female anatomy and physiology), fetal development and birth. Students will be introduced as well to the genome structure and function, gene expression, protein synthesis, proteomics, and role in human biology. For the Lab part, the goal is to get students to be acquainted with the different technologies that produced data such as sequences and real time PCR. Students will be performing laboratory work that include, bacterial growth using incubator, DNA isolation, RNA isolation, Protein isolation, electrophoresis of the three macro molecules, conventional PCR, Real time PCR, Sequencing of isolated DNA fragment.
