First, you will master the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) — the technique that amplifies DNA for cloning, diagnosis, pathogen screening, and forensic analysis. You will learn how thermal cyclers work and why PCR is essential in every modern lab.
Next, you will explore DNA sequencing using the classic Sanger dideoxy method and automated dye-terminator sequencing. You will understand gel electrophoresis and how to read a DNA sequence.
You will then study recombinant DNA technology, including restriction enzymes, gene vectors, cloning vectors, and genomic libraries. These tools allow scientists to cut, paste, and modify genes.
The course also covers microarray and gene chip technology, with real examples in melanoma and breast carcinoma diagnosis. You will learn how gene therapy works, which diseases can be treated, and what vectors are used.
We also explore transgenic animal technology and how genetically modified organisms are created for research and agriculture.
New section added: Introduction to AI in biotechnology — including free tools for DNA analysis and research.
Who is this course for?
Medical students, veterinary students, biology students, lab technicians, researchers, and anyone curious about genetic engineering and molecular biology.
By the end of this course
You will understand PCR, DNA sequencing, cloning, microarrays, gene therapy, and how AI is shaping the future of biotechnology.
