1. DNA, gene structure, and DNA replication-- 2. Transcription, translation, and regulation of eukaryotic DNA-- 3. Nuclear and extranculear DNA in lnsects-- 4. Genetic systems, genome cbolution, and genetic control of embryonic development in insects-- 5. Some basic tools: how to cut, paste, copy, measure, visualize, and clone DNA-- 6. Some additional tools for the molecular biologist-- 7. DNA sequencing and the evolution of the "-Omics"-- 8. DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction: molecular biology made accessible-- 9. Transposable-element vectors and other methods to genetically modify drpsophila and other insects-- 10.Sex determination in insects-- 11. Molecular genetics of insect behavior-- 12.
