Engineering Genetic Circuits: Design

This course gives an introduction to the biology and biochemistry necessary to understand genetic circuits. It starts by providing an engineering viewpoint on genetic circuit design and a review of cells and their structure. The second module introduces genetic parts and the importance of standards followed by a discussion of genetic devices used within circuit design. The last two modules cover experimental techniques and construction methods and principles applied during the design process.  

• Identify the different types of cells, their components, and structure.
• Discover the underlying structure of devices and their connection to genetic parts.
• Contrast different experimental techniques used in genetic construction.
• Evaluate the different principles used in genetic circuit design.
