Exploring Genetics: Fundamentals to Disorders and Beyond

Course Overview:This in-depth course covers the foundational principles of genetics, the intricacies of DNA, human genome analysis, and the mechanisms behind genetic disorders and diseases. Ideal for students and professionals in life sciences, this course provides a structured approach to understanding genetic mutations, DNA repair, sequencing techniques, and the genetic basis of diseases like Huntington's, Down Syndrome, and Parkinson's. Section 1: Introduction to GeneticsBegin your journey into the world of genetics with a comprehensive introduction.

Learn about the fundamentals of genetics, exploring its core principles and foundational concepts over three engaging lectures. Section 2: Cells, Proteins, Chromosomes, and Gene MutationsDive into the structural and functional aspects of genetics by understanding the roles of cells, proteins, and chromosomes. This section highlights the causes and effects of gene mutations through a detailed, step-by-step analysis.

Section 3: Human Genome and DNAExplore the structure and significance of the human genome. Gain insights into DNA's role as the genetic material, and understand its replication, coding, and regulation processes. This section establishes a solid foundation for studying advanced genetic concepts.

Section 4: Important Concepts in GeneticsThis section breaks down critical genetic concepts into five detailed lectures. Topics include gene regulation, inheritance patterns, and the molecular basis of phenotypes, providing a comprehensive understanding of how genetics influences life. Section 5: Mutagenesis and DNA RepairDiscover the mechanisms of mutagenesis-the processes by which genetic mutations occur-and the body's natural DNA repair mechanisms.
