Undergraduate Research

in

Applied Structural Genomics

at

Anoka-Ramsey Community College

Course Description:

• This class at Anoka-Ramsey transfers directly to St. Cloud State University as a 400-level (senior-level) research class.
• This class is 2 credits and you may register over multiple semesters, earning up to 4 credits total.
• Undergraduate Research in Applied Structural Genomics is a course that applies the basic concepts of biotechnology to real-life research problems. Students will utilize the equipment and procedures of a typical biotechnology laboratory including aseptic technique, pipetting, agarose electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, polymerase chain reaction, transformation, and cloning. Overall goals of the research project include identification of genes of interest, in vitro amplification of genes, in vivo cloning, gene expression and analysis of gene products (proteins). Students will present their portion of the research at the conclusion of the semester.
• You will be challenged to think critically in a way that you may not have previously encountered. It is this new way of thinking that 4-year colleges and graduate schools are looking for in their incoming students.
• To enroll, you must be a student at Anoka-Ramsey Community College. You must have had either a college-level general biology class (1100/1106) or AP Biology in High School. This course has restricted registration, and you will need instructor approval to register for this class.
