1 BI425/525: Advanced Molecular Biology Research Lab, Fall 2017 Instructor- Alice Barkan. Teaching Assistant-Carolyn Brewster This is an intensive advanced laboratory course that will involve students in research that combines genetic, molecular biology and genomic approaches to dissect a complex cellular process: the biogenesis of the chloroplast. Students will gain hands-on experience with common molecular biology techniques, bioinformatic tools and "next generation" DNA sequencing methods. Students will use their knowledge of genetics, gene expression, and photosynthesis acquired in introductory coursework, and they will build on that foundation by learning about transposable elements, nuclearorganellar interactions, gene families, genome evolution, and more. Lectures and assigned readings will describe the biological context of this research and the theoretical basis of the techniques employed. Student-directed discussion of research articles and current topics related to the course content will be incorporated throughout the term. The broad goals of the course are to: Provide research training as a stepping stone to research in a UO lab and/or post-graduation employment. Synergize with upper level courses that focus on primary research literature by providing hands-on experience with common experimental methodologies. Student Learning Outcomes. Students in this course will: Gain hands-on experience with the theory and practice of common methods in molecular biology (e.g. western blotting, DNA/RNA purification, PCR, RT-PCR, molecular cloning, recombinant protein expression, next-generation DNA sequencing). Be trained in the use of genome databases and tools for making inferences about gene structure and function. Learn basic laboratory skills such as how to keep a proper laboratory notebook, make solutions, etc. Learn about biology that is only minimally covered in other UO courses (e.g. transposable elements, the biogenesis of chloroplasts and mitochondria, plant biotechnology). Develop the critical thinking and creative skills associated with data evaluation, hypothesis formulation, and experimental design. Grades will be based on the following components: Lab notebook checks (three graded checks; 15% of grade: Is the goal of the experiment clearly stated? Are the procedures outlined in sufficient detail? Is the data properly labeled? Are the conclusions summarized? Are implications and suggestions for future experiments noted? Quizzes (Four quizzes, 28% of grade) "Journal club" presentation (15%). Students will work in small groups to present a research article or overview of current topic related to the course content. See syllabus for topic choices. Final Symposium Talk (15%): Grades will be based on clarity of presentation, understanding of the material, ability to answer questions clearly and correctly. Final Paper (20%)- This project summary should include the question posed, experimental approach, and conclusions at each step, the final conclusions and the reasoning that led to them. Describe new questions that arise from your results and where you would go from here if you were to continue the project. Discretionary points (7%)- Are equipment and reagents used properly? Is the student cooperative? Does the student participate actively in discussions and display independent thought? 1
2 BI425/525 Fall 2017 Overview of Experimental Goals Two independent projects will be interwoven during the term: Goal #1: Identify the gene whose disruption causes a specific non-photosynthetic mutant phenotype in maize - analyze mutant phenotypes by Western blot analysis of photosynthetic complexes - identify candidate causal mutations: Mu-Illumina analysis to find Mu insertions that cosegregate with this phenotype - prioritize candidates for followup: Bioinformatic analyses of genes disrupted by cosegregating Mu insertions - test best candidates by PCR to evaluate genetic linkage to the mutant phenotype - quantify mrna from best candidate gene by RT-PCR to determine the degree to which the transposon insertion disrupts gene expression. Techniques: RNA/DNA/protein extraction, SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, PCR, principles of genetic analysis, Illumina sequencing, use of genome database resources Goal #2: Express a recombinant protein in E. coli for production of antiserum - choose a conserved region of the assigned protein for expression - clone the DNA segment encoding this region into an E. coli expression vector - express the protein and purify it by nickel affinity chromatography Techniques: Multiple sequence alignments, molecular cloning by Gibson Assembly, E. coli transformation, expression and purification of his-tagged proteins from E. coli 2
3 Tentative Class Schedule The schedule below shows the order of topics and assignments, but the dates may change as the term progresses due to the inevitable uncertainties of doing research. On some days we will not need the full scheduled time, but on others it may be necessary to stay late or come in outside of class hrs.
