The Micromon Recombinant DNA Techniques Course is running again this year, as it has for over 25 years. Have you been out of the lab for a while? Have a scientific background, but not that familiar with molecular biology? Want to learn some of the basic techniques and theory? Join us for this week-long intensive training course.

Hands-On Lab-Based Excercises:

The following applications are covered in the practical laboratory work spanning 30 hours of the workshop.

Cleavage and Ligation of Plasmid DNA
Transformation of Bacterial Cells
Preparation and Purification of Plasmid DNA
Restriction Enzyme Mapping
Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Recovery of DNA from Agarose Gels
Preparation of Probes
DIG-based Southern Blotting and Hybridisation
Induction of Fusion Protein Production
Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis and Western Blotting
Nucleic Acid Extraction
Reverse Transcription and PCR
Quantification of DNA and RNA by Bioanalysis
Real-time PCR (qPCR)
DNA Sequencing and Computer-aided Analysis

Lecture Series:

The following broad topics are covered in a series of 10 lectures throughout the week

Introduction to Microbiology, DNA and Molecular Biology,
Basic Cloning Requirements
Gene Cloning Techniques
Molecular Hybridisation (Northern, Southern and Western)
Construction and screening of Genomic and cDNA Libraries
Restriction Fragment Mapping
Design and use of Oligonucleotide Primers
Genetic Mapping
DNA Sequencing
Polymerase Chain Reaction and Real-Time PCR (qPCR)
Site-directed Mutagenesis
Cloning Vectors and their Applications
Gene Expression Systems
Basic Bioinformatics and Database Searching

Sunday 30 November – Friday 5 December, 2014
Venue: Microbiology Department, Monash University (Clayton), Australia.
