BIOL 400 – MARINE ECOTAXICOLOGY (5 CR)
Investigation of marine organismal responses to chemical stressors such as xenobiotics and pharmaceuticals. This laboratory-based course will emphasize techniques of isolating and manipulating DNA and RNA. Includes isolation of differentially expressed mRNA transcripts associated with chemical exposure, development of molecular probes from products of differential gene expression, analyzing these molecular probes to provide insight into impacted biochemical pathways, and identification of potential biomarkers of effect and/or exposure.
