BT 503 Advanced Genetic Engineering (M.Tech-BT)
Principles of
recombinant DNA technology and its applications: identification,
isolation, amplification and cloning of genes; High throughput
analysis of genome and proteome; Recombinant protein expression
systems: design of different expression systems in E.coli,
yeast, fungi, plant and mammalian cells; Transgenic plants,
animals and their applications; Molecular therapeutics: Gene
probes and DNA fingerprinting for diagnosis, identification of
biomarkers, gene silencing using antisense and siRNA technology,
gene therapy systems, application of stem cells in therapy,
recombinant vaccines and antibodies.
HT 501 Introduction to Cellular
Processes (M.Tech)
Basics of cell types;
structural organization and function of intracellular
organelles: nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, lysosomes,
endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, plastids, vacuoles,
chloroplasts, structure & function of cytoskeleton and its role
in motility; Structure of model membrane, lipid bilayer and
membrane protein diffusion, osmosis, ion channels, active
transport, membrane pumps, mechanism of sorting and regulation
of intracellular transport, electrical properties of membranes;
Basics of thermodynamics in bio-systems, common biochemical
reactions, phosphorylation and ATP, biological oxidation
reduction; Chromosomes and their structure cell division:
mitosis and meiosis, steps in cell cycle and its regulation;
From gene to protein: DNA replication, transcription/RNA
synthesis, and translation/protein synthesis; General principles
of cell communication, cell adhesion and roles of different
adhesion molecules, gap junctions, extracellular matrix,
integrins, neurotransmission and its regulation; Introduction to
metabolic pathways: catabolic pathways and anabolic pathways –
glycolysis, TCA cycle, fatty acid and amino acid metabolism,
metabolic regulation; Hormones and their receptors, cell surface
receptor, signalling through G-protein coupled receptors, signal
transduction pathways, light signalling in plants, bacterial
chemotaxis and quorum sensing; Essential techniques applied in
cell biology with case studies, basic of recombinant technology,
reporter constructs, and oligonucleotide array.
