    Learn the principles and methods of DNA sequencing and its applications. See how sequencing determines nucleotide order in genes, larger regions, or whole genomes and predicts RNA or protein sequences.

  • Principles of DNA Sequencing0:44

    Describe the principle of dna sequencing: determine the order of four bases using a template, fragment separation by size through gel electrophoresis, and assembling the full sequence via sanger sequencing.

  • Basic method & application of DNA sequencing19:39

    Explore basic and advanced DNA sequencing methods, including maximum Gilbert sequencing and Zango sequencing. Discover next generation sequencing platforms and their high throughput capabilities for genome analysis.

Requirements

  • Life-Sciences graduates and Post Graduates
  • Pharmacy Graduates and Post Graduates
  • Doctors (Pathologists, Microbiologists, MBBS, BAMS, BHMS) or Medical Students
  • PhD pursuing or completed
  • Employees working in Laboratories, Hospitals, Pharmaceutical or Biotech companies

Description

DNA Sequencing means determining the order of the four chemical building blocks - called "bases" - that make up the DNA molecule. The sequence tells scientists the kind of genetic information that is carried in a particular DNA segment. For example, scientists can use sequence information to determine which stretches of DNA contain genes and which stretches carry regulatory instructions, turning genes on or off. In addition, and importantly, sequence data can highlight changes in a gene that may cause disease.

Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, technological improvements and automation have increased speed and lowered costs to the point where individual genes can be sequenced routinely, and some labs can sequence well over 100,000 billion bases per year, and an entire genome can be sequenced for just a few thousand dollars.
