LS

34 courses with the subject LS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

LS 301:Molecular Biology

Principles and mechanisms of cellular function at the molecular level, including an overview of experimental techniques; gene expression, structure and replication, mutations and repair of DNA; synthesis of RNA upon DNA template; synthesis of DNA upon RNA template; recombinant DNA; amplification and analysis; molecular basis of genetic disease and cancer; and diagnostic applications.
