CACAO Learning Objectives

Over-reaching Learning Objective

The over-reaching learning objective is to help students understand:

1. Where does our knowledge come from?
2. How did the authors of textbooks or review papers know that certain gene products (proteins or RNAs) did the specific things they describe?
3. What techniques did scientists use to characterize them?
