brief description of the course in Estonian
Anda üldine sissejuhatus geenitehnoloogias ja geneetikas kasutavatest meetoditest ning uuritavatest probleemidest.

Aines räägitakse: i) geenitehnoloogia ajaloost; ii) geenidest, geneetikast ja genoomikast; iii) molekulaar- ja rakubioloogia põhimõistetest; iv) biokeemiast; v) viroloogiast ja mikrobioloogiast; vi) üldistest laboratoorsetest meetoditest ja transgeensetest organismidest.

Õppeaine alguses korratakse üle ka gümnaasiumi bioloogia programmis õpitu, mis puudutab geneetikat ja geenitehnoloogiat
