0.1 Letter to students

This course covers basic topics in Molecular Biology (Topic 1 to 7) with an additional topic introducing some methods and experimental approaches (Topic 8).

Even though the content seems sometimes overloaded, the main points could be found in the Summary at the end of each topic. End-of-topic Assignments also emphasize the most important ideas to be retained. The End-of-course Assignments is a test for synthetic analysis of information provided all over the course rather than a revision of the course itself.

Please do not forget that this course is more a suggestion than an established scheme:

- Some contents - in particular those which are not mentioned in the Summary and the Assignments - can be bypassed

- Other contents that are briefly mentioned should need more detailed and updated readings

- The course could be partially used to complement other courses

I hope you have some fun to take this course.

Sincerely,

Professor Ho Huynh Thuy Duong
