DNA: Biology’s Genetic Code explores DNA structure, packaging, replication, and manipulation.

DNA encodes our genetic information and is passed on within cells to maintain living organisms and produce the next generation. In this biology course you will learn how the recognition of DNA as the genetic material and the ensuing identification of its structure and coding mechanism was both a revolutionary and foundational discovery. These discoveries led to transformational integration across the biological sciences with a common understanding of this fundamental unit of life!

The course utilizes video lectures, research articles, case studies, and molecular models to convey information. The course grade will be based on questions with each video lecture, quizzes, homework, and a final exam. 

课程大纲

• Structure of DNA and methods for packaging DNA into the cell
• Impacts of packaging and location on DNA expression (epigenetics)
• Machinery for replicating DNA with an extremely low error rate
• Types of damage that affect DNA structure and how DNA moves around
• DNA sequencing, amplification, specific fragmentation and designed recombination
