From Gene to Protein Course
Dive into the journey from genes to proteins: learn to interpret DNA and mRNA, forecast mutation outcomes on protein structure and function, build and verify expression constructs, execute protein detection assays like western blots and immunofluorescence, and design robust experiments with strong controls. These core abilities are vital for advancing in biological research and biotech applications.

What will I learn?
This course provides a straightforward guide from DNA sequences to working proteins. You'll explore transcription, mRNA processing, and translation, while studying codons, mutations, and their impacts on proteins. Gain hands-on skills in creating expression constructs, performing western blots, interpreting results, and using proper controls to design, carry out, and present precise molecular biology experiments.
