Requirements

Project work (50% of the final grade, consists of extended report on one topic chosen by the student from a list provided), exercises (1 report per lesson,50% of the final grade). The student is required to pass the course: a) must execute the two requirements. b) must attend and complete at least 70% of the exercises lessons

Learning outcomes

With the participation in this course, the student will know the basics of cellular morphology and functioning. Also, the student will learn the basics of gene expression mechanisms in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The student will learn methods for measuring gene expression and cellular structures. Finally, the students will learn how to write reports on cell biology related issues.

Additional information about prerequisites
The course (or equivalent knowledge) is a prerequisite for Computational Systems Biology I (SGN-6106). In 2010-11, the course is organized in parallel with the CSB1 course. Due to this conflict in scheduling the courses the course is not a prerequisite but highly recommended.
