Collection of the presentation slides for the DPBM course Practical Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering . There are files in (at least) two different formats for each lecture: PDF and ODP (Open Document Presentation). The ODP file is editable using LibreOffice software. If you want to open it with Microsoft Office, you need to convert it first using either LibreOffice or some online conversion tool (like cloudconvert ). All material is available under the creative commons license . I might add improved versions of the lecture slides later based on participants’ feedback. The slide about restriction enzymes (REs) and how to calculate the necessary RE amounts to digest a certain amount of DNA is in the file of Lecture 1.
