Molecular biology is the study of biological systems at the molecular level. The course deals with nucleic acids and proteins and their interaction to promote cellular growth and development.  The course details structure and analysis of nucleic acids, gene cloning and gene regulation as well as methods used in the recombinant DNA technology and its applications in agriculture, aquaculture and environmental protection. Molecular methods such as polymerase chain regulation (PCR), restriction mapping, DNA hybridization and sequencing will be elucidated.
