    Course Overview

    The DNA to RNA transcription process is the first step in gene expression. It is also a significant part of the central dogma of Biology. Learn about this process in extensive detail with the Molecular Biology - Part 2: Transcription and Transposition online course by edX, courtesy of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

    Around 50% of the human genome consists of transposable elements, i.e., the genetic information that can move from one location to another. The movement of these elements into specific genes is related to the causes of certain diseases. In the Molecular Biology - Part 2: Transcription and Transposition programme, you will learn more about how these ‘jumping elements’ work and how scientists study them.

    The Molecular Biology - Part 2: Transcription and Transposition training programme will help you develop experiment design and data analysis skills. All you need to do is sign up for the course, and study for 4-8 hours in a week, for seven short weeks. Moreover, you can also add this biological adventure on your resume by opting for the course completion certificate.
