What will I learn?
This course provides a quick and practical understanding of DNA double helix basics, base pairing rules, and thermodynamics, applying them to everyday lab tasks. 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, fix PCR problems, boost sequencing precision, and handle cloning projects with assurance.
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, proofreading, and effects of mismatch repair.
- Lab cloning skills: use base pairing for sticky ends, blunt ends, and adapter ligations.
