Course content

3 sections • 9 lectures • 1h 0m total length

INTRO TO DNA7:40
Explore the structure and role of DNA, including the double helix, nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, replication, transcription to mRNA, and translation into proteins that drive life.
DNA ARCHETYPE6:58
Explore how DNA's double helix copies itself through complementary bases and semi-conservative replication, highlighting helicase, primers, DNA polymerase, and the leading and lagging strands with Okazaki fragments.
DNA SEQUENCING: PART 17:50
Demonstrate how DNA sequencing determines the order of bases by fragmenting DNA, amplifying with plasmid DNA in bacteria, and using terminator bases with color-coded fluorescence read by capillary electrophoresis.
DNA SEQUENCING: PART 20:59
Show the sequence process with a thermal cycler in summary. Heat to 95 C (The Nature ration), 55–65 C (a mealing), then 72 C for DNA polymerase primer extension.
PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS3:04
The nucleus houses the genome and chromosomes; RNA polymerase initiates transcription to produce messenger RNA that moves to the cytoplasm where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

BIOINFORMATICS THEORY5:54
Explore bioinformatics as an interdisciplinary field that combines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and engineering to analyze genomics data from next-generation sequencing and identify disease-related genes and SNPs.
BIOINFORMATICS NUCLEOBASE PROGRAM12:57
Parse gc content from a breast cancer dataset using Biopython, computing gc ratio and nucleotide counts in DNA sequences. Map gene sequences to function through DNA sequencing.

INSTALLING BIOPYTHON/CHANGING DNA TO PROTEIN7:10
install Biopython and learn to translate a DNA sequence to a protein using Biopython tools, including transcription to RNA and translation to amino acids.
DNA MUTATION/DNA SLICING/DNA CONCATENATION8:20
Learn to manipulate DNA with Biopython by generating random sequences, slicing and concatenating fragments, counting bases, and mutating a mutable sequence to study GC content and the impact on datasets.

Requirements

Student should have basic knowledge of some Object Oriented Programming Language.

Description

DNA Research using Biopython, An Introduction To Bioinformatics, is a crash hacker course that will teach you Hybrid Developer skills. You will use your existing OOPL development skills to fly through python code effortlessly. You will first learn what is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and how to work with it to simultaneously implement medical research and python code to work toward and infer a solution. You will learn how to use biopython and its libraries to help you research
