After the course, the student can:
- Identify, list and define common techniques used in genetic engineering and gene expression analysis,
- Interpret data generated from the techniques discussed, classify strengths and weaknesses of the methodologies, summarize results and methods, infer consequences of results, explain procedures.
- Apply the acquired knowledge to better interpret degrees of confidence in experimental results.
- Deconstruct results of gene expression measurements. Compare different methodologies for verifying a hypothesis or measuring a variable.
- Compare and appraise related methods in gene expression studies, and interpret and comment conclusions in such studies,
- Create and develop an experimental procedure using the methods learned, that can address simple questions regarding gene expression.
