Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
• Demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of life to understand questions and solve situations related to biology
• Solve issues relevant to biology
• Have developed practical skills in the various fields of biology through practical sessions in the laboratory and in the field, during which they have worked individually or in groups
• Analyse and interpret, in an appropriate way, biological data collected in natura, through dissection or based on an experimental protocol in the laboratory
• Apply a scientific approach and critical thinking
• Understand and apply the basic principles of reasoning (obtaining data, analysis, synthesis, comparison, rule of three, syllogism, analogy, etc.)
• Work with efficiency / accuracy / precision
• Communicate effectively and appropriately in French and English
• Communicate in French, orally and in writing, the results of experiments and observations by constructing and using graphs and tables

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this teaching unit, the students will acquire notions of genetic information flux and molecular biology general techniques. They will also perform themselves experiments using molecular biology techniques during the practical lessons.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Course describing the genetic information flux, the molecular biology basic techniques, as well as genomics and tools developped to apprehend genome-wide approaches.
Practical lessons allowing the students to realize themselves experiments using molecular biology techniques : gene cloning in an expression vector, yeast transformation and production of a two-hybrid test
