BIOSCI 41S
Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology
5
units
Time: see http://axess.stanford.edu
Emphasis is on macromolecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids) and how their structure relates to function and higher order assembly; molecular biology, genome structure and dynamics, gene expression from transcription to translation.
Prerequisite: CHEM 31X (or 31A and B), 33, 35
MATH 19, 20, 21 or 41, 42

BIOSCI 274S
Hopkins Microbiology Course
9-12
units
Time: see http://axess.stanford.edu. Pull down location to Hopkins Marine Station (not Stanford Main Campus).
Four-week, intensive. The interplay between molecular, physiological, ecological, evolutionary and geochemical processes that constitute, cause, and maintain microbial diversity. How to isolate key microorganisms driving marine biological and geochemical diversity, interpret culture-independent molecular characterization of microbial species, and predict causes and consequences. Laboratory component: what constitutes physiological and metabolic microbial diversity; how evolutionary and ecological processes diversify individual cells into physiologically heterogeneous populations; and the principles of interactions between individuals, their population, and other biological entities in a dynamically changing microbial ecosystem. Students are in residence at Pacific Grove and study aspects of biology that are not available on the main campus. Special application: http://www.stanford.edu/group/spormannlab/teachingFrame.html.
Prerequisite: CEE 274A,B, or equivalents.
