Course Overview

You may be familiar with what DNA is, but there are some facts about DNA that are possibly beyond your wildest imagination. For example, the amount of DNA that your cells synthesise during your lifetime, if stretched out length-wise, will cover a distance of one light-year. For even more fascinating information about DNA, take the Molecular Biology - Part 1: DNA Replication and Repair online course.

The DNA inside each cell is 2m long. But somehow, all that DNA fits inside the nucleus without becoming an entwined mess. With the Molecular Biology - Part 1: DNA Replication and Repair certification course, you will learn how cellular machinery accomplishes feats like that.

This course goes beyond the ‘what’ of the scientific information you may have come across in your textbooks and explores ‘how’ scientists derive(d) this information from molecular models. The Molecular Biology - Part 1: DNA Replication and Repair online programme by edX aims to help you develop the ability to design molecular biology experiments and analyse the data collected from these experiments. The instructor-paced programme offers two options to enrol; free and paid. In the free mode, the learners will be given access to the course only for a limited period.
