What Will I Learn?
This course provides a quick, practical understanding of DNA double helix basics, base pairing, and thermodynamics, applying them to real lab workflows. 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 will be equipped to design primers, optimise PCR, enhance sequencing, and execute cloning confidently.
Elevify Advantages
Develop Skills
- DNA sequence analysis: rapidly calculate GC content, Tm, and identify problematic motifs.
- Complement design: produce precise complementary and reverse-complement sequences efficiently.
- PCR optimisation: create reliable primers while preventing dimers and hairpins.
- Replication fidelity: analyse mismatches and effects of proofreading and mismatch repair.
- Cloning techniques: use base pairing for sticky-end, blunt-end, and adapter ligations in the lab.
