What will I learn?
This course provides a quick, hands-on 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 results, and handle cloning projects with assurance.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- DNA sequence analysis: rapidly calculate GC content, Tm, and identify potential problem 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 mechanisms, and mismatch repair effects.
- Lab cloning skills: use base pairing principles for sticky-end, blunt-end, and adapter ligations.
