Exploring Molecular Genetics Course

Description

Did you know that the structure of DNA, the famous double helix, was first described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953? They built their model based on X-ray diffraction images taken by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. This discovery revolutionised our understanding of inheritance and laid the foundation for advancements in molecular genetics, leading to breakthroughs such as the Human Genome Project and the development of gene-editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9.

Dive into the fundamental building blocks of life as you unravel the secrets encoded in the DNA and RNA molecules. Understand the nuanced basics of genes and their pivotal role in shaping every living organism. Witness the marvels of transcription and translation processes, the elegant ballet of genetic information unfolding.

Explore the intricacies of DNA replication and repair mechanisms, ensuring the integrity of the blueprint of life. Immerse yourself in the dynamic realm of chromosomes and cell division, witnessing the choreography that orchestrates the birth of new cells. Journey through the corridors of Mendelian Genetics, where hereditary patterns come to life, unravelling the mysteries of genetic inheritance.

Cap off your exploration with a foray into the cutting-edge realms of genomics and bioinformatics, where the convergence of biology and technology opens new frontiers in understanding and manipulating the very fabric of life. Enrich your mind with the knowledge that lies at the heart of our existence - Enrol now and go through the captivating landscapes of molecular genetics.
