What will I learn?
This course provides a quick, hands-on understanding of DNA double helix basics, base pairing, and thermodynamics, applying them to practical lab tasks. You'll learn to analyze sequences, compute GC content and melting temperature, create reverse complements, spot structural issues, and grasp replication accuracy. By the end, you'll confidently design primers, optimize PCR, enhance sequencing, and execute cloning strategies.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- DNA sequence analysis: rapidly calculate GC content, Tm, and identify problematic motifs.
- Complement strand design: produce precise complementary and reverse-complement sequences efficiently.
- PCR primer optimization: create reliable primers while preventing dimers and hairpins.
- Replication accuracy: analyze mismatches and effects of proofreading and mismatch repair.
- Cloning techniques: use base pairing for sticky-end, blunt-end, and adapter ligations in the lab.
