Learning outcomes
The course is focused on biological-biotechnological innovation and their methods. It is organized in three parts. The first part consists of the text, given to the students, addressing the following topics: The eukaryotic gene, the origin of new proteins, RNA interference, mobile genetic elements, The RNA world, ubiquitin, ubiquitination and the “expansion” of biological information via post-translational modifications, the origin of the eukaryotes and therapeutic targets, innovation and invention in biology/biotechnology. The methods are mainly focused on the study of interacting macromolecules (es. Y2H, BiFC, phage display). The second part consists of 21 articles/reviews related to the fore-mentioned topics. The articles are presented and discussed during the course. The second part contains also related topics necessary to understand the program of the course (e.g. signal transduction). The third part consists of the critical analysis of an inventive process, from the inventive step to the proof of concept and its implementation.
Program
The lectures will address the following topics. The origin of eukaryotes and biological innovations. The RNA world. RNA interference. The vision of the gene in the Era of molecular genetics. Transposable elements and genome evolution. On the origin of proteins. The driving forces of evolution. Gene and genome duplications; sufunctionalization, neofunctionalization, pseudogenization. Post-translational modifications of biological information. Biological and biotechnological innovations auxin-based. Biotechnological innovations will be show in connection to biological innovations
A second part will analyse 21 reviews and original articles which are part of the bibliography of the text used in the lectures (unpublished and written by the teacher).
The last part, laboratory, will first analyse two patents based on combinatorial genetics and then an idea and inventive steps will be discussed together with the “virtual” physical embodiments needed for filing a patent application.
Examination Methods
The oral examination will deal with the theoretical and methodological basis of the program and their use to solve biological and/or biotechnological problems. During the examination, the student might consult, if necessary, the text and/or the articles.

Attendance
As stated in the Teaching Regulations for the A.Y. 2022/2023, attendance is not mandatory. However, professors may require students to attend lectures for a minimum of hours in order to be able to take the module exam, in which case the methods that will be used to check attendance will be explained at the beginning of the module.
