Uses a sequential approach to engineering genes. Explains how genetic material may be extracted from a variety of sources and how this DNA may be fragmented and purified. The techniques available are described along with the procedures that may be
employed. This leads to a description of how genes may be re-constructed and introduced back into the living system. Important ethical and regulatory issues are also discussed.
* Step-by-step logical development * Student centered learning style The need for a cost effective training scheme for new and existing staff at all levels has been met by the University of Greenwich (formerly Thames Polytechnic) and the Open
University of the Netherlands. As part of the European Community Education and Technology Training initiative (COMETT) and in conjunction with a number of other leading UK and European universities, have developed BIOTOL, a training scheme in
biotechnology using open learning materials, which will provide tailor-made courses, flexible in content, pace and place.
