(view timetable) Time Commitment: Contact Hours: 30 hours comprising one 2-hour lecture per week and two 3-hour practical classes per semester. Total Time Commitment: 120 hours Total Time Commitment: Not available Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Recommended Background Knowledge: This subject assumes a basic understanding of gene and protein function and molecular biology techniques. Non Allowed Subjects: None Core Participation Requirements: It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study and reasonable steps will be made to enhance a student’s participation in the University’s programs. Students who feel their disability may impact upon their active and safe participation in a subject are encouraged to discuss this with the relevant subject coordinator and the Disability Liaison Unit. Coordinator: Dr Jason Goodger Contact: Email: jgoodger@un imelb.edu.au (mailto:jgoodger@un imelb.edu.au) Subject Overview: This subject is focussed on the use of molecular techniques to study gene and protein functions in a range of organisms. It aims to provide students with an advanced understanding of the strategies and techniques used in molecular biology of relevance both to the biotechnology industry and to advanced molecular biology research. Topics will be drawn from the current literature and ongoing research in molecular biology. Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this subject students should have: # a detailed understanding of advanced tools, resources and techniques in molecular biology; # an understanding of how these techniques are used to study gene and protein functions in cells and organisms; # an appreciation of how these techniques may be applied both in biotechnology and in advanced research; # an appreciation of the information resources available to assess the usefulness of a particular technique; and # acquired the knowledge to enable them to critically appraise new data arising from the use of these techniques and to interpret the implications of such data. Assessment: Two 600-word reports due early and late semester (7.5% each); two 1500-word reports due mid and late semester (20%) each; one oral presentation during semester (5%); a two-hour end-of- semester examination (40%). Prescribed Texts: None Breadth Options: This subject is not available as a breadth subject.

Subject Overview:This subject is focussed on the use of molecular techniques to study gene and protein functionsin a range of organisms. It aims to provide students with an advanced understanding of thestrategies and techniques used in molecular biology of relevance both to the biotechnologyindustry and to advanced molecular biology research. Topics will be drawn from the currentliterature and ongoing research in molecular biology.
Learning Outcomes:Upon completion of this subject students should have:
# a detailed understanding of advanced tools, resources and techniques in molecular biology;
# an understanding of how these techniques are used to study gene and protein functions incells and organisms;
# an appreciation of how these techniques may be applied both in biotechnology and inadvanced research;
# an appreciation of the information resources available to assess the usefulness of aparticular technique; and
# acquired the knowledge to enable them to critically appraise new data arising from the useof these techniques and to interpret the implications of such data.
Assessment: Two 600-word reports due early and late semester (7.5% each); two 1500-word reports due midand late semester (20%) each; one oral presentation during semester (5%); a two-hour end-of-semester examination (40%).

Generic Skills:Completion of this subject is expected to enhance the generic skills of a student in:
# the ability to understand how useful experimental tools are built upon an understanding ofbasic principles of molecular and cellular biology;
# the ability to understand how complex new scientific data is acquired how it is appropriatelyinterpreted;
# understanding the connections between research and the biotechnology industry;
# the ability to read and interpret complex literature in order to answer detailed questions onboth theory and methodology
# an appreciation for how modern science is informed by cross-disciplinary studies leading totechnological advances
# the ability to use information technology to acquire relevant knowledge for theirunderstanding of the current status of the field and its relevance to society.
