We have 16 students in class which will form groups of two. These groups will work together the entire semester, cloning a gene of interest. Students have to select a gene and identify a suitable source for cloning it. They also have to develop a strategy for cloning, including verification that they actually cloned the full coding region of the gene. Each group will develop a website where they describe their project. It is required that student write a daily lab notebook during/after each lab session. This notebook will be graded and will substitute for a lab notebook.
