DNA Structure

Welcome to DNA Structure Course!

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of DNA as the fundamental molecule of life. From its historical discovery to its intricate structure and chemical properties, participants will explore how DNA functions as the genetic blueprint of all living organisms. Throughout the course, we will examine the experimental evidence supporting DNA as the genetic material, delve into the molecular architecture of nucleic acids, and analyze the key differences between DNA and RNA. By the end, participants will have a solid grasp of DNA's role in genetics, inheritance, and molecular biology.

Why take this course?
