Complete, free Genomics course (Lecture notes, recordings, assignments and tests!)

During the fall of 2020 I had the opportunity to design and teach a Genomics course for 60+ 4th year undergraduate biology students. It was one of the harder (but also most rewarding) things I’ve had to do, especially with 3 months to prepare. I’m proud of the course I delivered and I’d like to share ALL my class materials so that the next person has an easier time than I did 🙂 As well, the field of Genomics moves so fast I don’t want it to be completely out of date before somebody gets some use out of it.

Lab Primer Class 1 Lecture 1 – Making a useful protein A to Z

Published: December 30th, 2019   Last Modified: January 17th, 2020

Just trying my hand at educational content, no holds barred, no details spared.

In this lecture our goal is to purify a useful protein from start to finish! I cover reading patents, verifying sequences, designing the experiment, designing primers, doing the PCR, cloning and screening. Part two will be the induction, expression and activity testing of the protein.
