| Real time PCR has been integrated into a semester long capstone laboratory experience in proteomics (Preparing Undergraduates to Participate in the Post-Genome Era: A Capstone Laboratory Experience in Proteomics. 2003. BAMED 31, 402-409). Groups of students characterize relative gene transcription levels while simultaneously monitoring changes in protein expression of molecular chaperones in Escherichia coli in response to thermal stress. By connecting relative changes in mRNA levels to changes in protein expression, students are able to directly monitor the flow of information through the cell in response to heat shock and cold shock. This comparison offers students insight into the complexities of cellular regulation in response to environmental insults and completes the central dogma for students in a laboratory setting. Preliminary assessment results will be presented for the laboratory experience. |
