The purpose of this class is to familiarize the Principal Investigator and lab personnel with the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules. These guidelines are the standard for containment and safety research practices involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules. All lab staff in recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecule research laboratories are required to complete this training program initially and then again every three years.
