Overview

Did you know that the structure of DNA, the famous double helix, was first described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953? They built their model based on X-ray diffraction images taken by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. This discovery revolutionised our understanding of inheritance and laid the foundation for advancements in molecular genetics, leading to breakthroughs such as the Human Genome Project and the development of gene-editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9.

Dive into the fundamental building blocks of life as you unravel the secrets encoded in the DNA and RNA molecules. Understand the nuanced basics of genes and their pivotal role in shaping every living organism. Witness the marvels of transcription and translation processes, the elegant ballet of genetic information unfolding.

Explore the intricacies of DNA replication and repair mechanisms, ensuring the integrity of the blueprint of life. Immerse yourself in the dynamic realm of chromosomes and cell division, witnessing the choreography that orchestrates the birth of new cells. Journey through the corridors of Mendelian Genetics, where hereditary patterns come to life, unravelling the mysteries of genetic inheritance.

Cap off your exploration with a foray into the cutting-edge realms of genomics and bioinformatics, where the convergence of biology and technology opens new frontiers in understanding and manipulating the very fabric of life. Enrich your mind with the knowledge that lies at the heart of our existence – Enrol now and go through the captivating landscapes of molecular genetics.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
