This module aims to cover how cells function at a molecular level and specifically how they work and replicate efficiently. It outlines the implications of faults in processes, such as those that can give rise to genetic diseases.  Further, it emphasises the theoretical and practical aspects of DNA technology and the many applications that can benefit mankind, from improving crop yield to curing genetic disorders by gene therapy. All lectures are underpinned by related practical work.
