What will I learn?
This course provides a quick and practical understanding of DNA double helix basics, base pairing rules, and thermodynamics. You will learn to analyse sequences, compute GC content and melting temperature, create reverse complements, spot structural issues, and grasp replication accuracy. By the end, you can confidently design primers, fix PCR problems, boost sequencing precision, and prepare for cloning tasks.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- DNA sequence analysis: rapidly calculate GC%, Tm, and identify risky motifs.
- Complement design: quickly produce accurate complementary and reverse-complement strands.
- PCR optimisation: create reliable primers while dodging dimers and hairpins.
- Replication fidelity: analyse mismatches, proofreading, and MMR effects.
- Lab cloning prep: use base pairing for sticky, blunt, and adapter ligations.
