INTRODUCTION. The molecular
and genomic basis of life is at the heart of biology today. How do molecular
machines build organisms, based on the blueprint of the genome? How
are genomes shaped by the function of genomes? We will learn the techniques
and explore research questions at the forefront of molecular research.
Web resources will be used in class, and for your assignments. Required reading. Tests. There are three tests, two of them take-home. The Chime Molecular Tutorial Project substitutes for the final exam. Final Projects. A Chime Tutorial is required. It is recommended that two partners share a project, especially if you have not previously used Chime. Examples of past projects may be viewed at Biomolecules at Kenyon.
Standards for Projects and Exams. The standard College guidelines on individual authorship and plagiarism apply to all work, as stated in the Student Handbook 03-04. All projects, including html, must include footnotes and references cited in detail comparable to that of a term paper. Each exam must represent the work of one individual student. Disabilities. If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning disability that may affect your ability to carry out assigned course work, please contact the Office of Disability Services at 5453. The Coordinator of Disability Services, Erin Salva, will review your concerns and determine, with you, what accommodations are appropriate. All information and documentation of disability is confidential. Home
