🧬 Molecular Biology: Syllabus & Course Map

Give a molecular account of storage, copying, repair, readout, and regulation of genetic information, and of the principles by which the main molecular methods report those processes. Each machine is met after the chemical problem it solves. A method is treated as an argument with a limit, not as a recipe.

Core Learning Outcomes & Competencies

Upon mastery of this comprehensive syllabus, students and researchers are expected to:

✓ Reconstruct the evidence that DNA is the genetic material of cells, and state why some viruses use RNA instead, including the chemical differences that matter for copying and stability.

✓ Describe B-form DNA, supercoiling, and the nucleosome, and explain euchromatin, heterochromatin, and histone modifications as recruitment marks rather than a simple on/off legend.

✓ Compare a typical bacterial genome with the human genome, and use the C-value paradox and repetitive DNA to explain why genome size is not gene number.

✓ Trace replication from origin recognition through Okazaki-fragment maturation and telomeres, including polymerase polarity, proofreading, and the end-replication problem.

✓ Match common DNA lesions to mismatch repair, base-excision repair, nucleotide-excision repair, or a double-strand-break pathway, and state what RecA or Rad51 contributes.

✓ Describe bacterial and eukaryotic transcription, name what each eukaryotic RNA polymerase makes, and connect CTD phosphorylation to RNA processing.

✓ Explain initiation, elongation, and termination of translation in bacteria and in eukaryotes, and give the ribosomal site of action of the antibiotics named in the course.

✓ Use the lac and trp operons, chromatin remodelling, DNA methylation, and small RNAs as models of regulation, and state what cloning, PCR, blotting, sequencing, and a CRISPR–Cas9 knockout each show and do not show.
