Unraveling the world of molecular genetics

Unraveling the world of molecular genetics

This Online Molecular Genetics course focuses on understanding and appreciating the genius of great scientists who made significant contributions in molecular biology with limited resources during their times. Current advances in this field are due to their pioneering efforts. The objective of the course is to unravel those underlying thinking processes for furthering  creative research and designing unique experimental methods.

In this online course in molecular biology, you'll learn about -

• Chemical, biochemical and structural evidence for DNA/RNA as genetic material

• DNA -protein interactions  experiments that revealed the DNA sequence to which DNA interacting proteins bind to

• Experiments unraveling the mechanism of DNA replication. Eg- Meselsen-stahl experiment

• Discovery of protein synthesis machinery- mRNA, tRNA and ribosomes

• Experiments done to decipher the mechanism of transcription

• Elucidation of the genetic code

All these experiments revealed the central dogma of molecular biology.

Each section of this online course is packed with quizzes to apply the information you have learnt in the lectures.

This course is for students with a basic background in biology and chemistry.

This course comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, so there is nothing to lose.

Enroll in the course today and learn how the molecular mechanisms at the Replication, transcription and translation level were deciphered.
