Biology 370.01 Fall 2001 (V. Praitis): What do cells do? How do they
do it? What can go wrong?
The course covers a select group of topics in cell biology, including cell
division, cell architecture, protein folding, and others.
The primary goal of the course is to gain an understanding of the experimental
approaches used by cell biologists by reading the primary literature and
performing experiments. Each topic we cover will include a discussion of
the relevant background and an in-depth discussion of a classic, seminal
or recent paper. For the laboratory portion of the class, we will use cell
biology techniques to characterize a mutation in an unknown gene of C. elegans.
