Basic Molecular Biology Module 1: Basic Science

This course is part of the Basic Molecular Biology eLearning Series

Description

Molecular techniques have been widely used in clinical diagnosis, e.g., diagnosing disease, predicting disease course, and identifying infectious agents. This basic molecular biology course series will introduce the scientific background for molecular diagnosis, the principles of molecular biology laboratory practice, and common methods.

The basic-level eLearning course provides information on the fundamental characteristics of DNA and RNA, nucleotide base-pairing rules, and the basic techniques and workflow applied in molecular diagnostics.

Audience

This online course is designed for public health and clinical laboratory staff and persons interested in the basic science of molecular biology.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, the participant will be able to:

  • Identify techniques in molecular diagnostics
  • Identify the workflow of molecular diagnostics
  • Predict the DNA sequences based on base-pairing rules
  • Differentiate the characteristics of DNA and RNA
  • Identify the process of DNA replication and RNA transcription
