14-20th June 2023
Level: Under Graduates (6th Semester)
Organized by: Advanced Institutional Biotechnology hub, Department of Zoology, PUC
About the course: This course is a comprehensive overview of key techniques in molecular biology mostly related to DNA analysis. The course covers the techniques of DNA/RNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, PCR and restriction digestion; data analysis using computer software. Upon completion of this course, the trainee would be able to extract genomic DNA/RNA from animal cells, perform agarose gel electrophoresis to analyse the DNA profile; amplify specific fragments of DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and visualise data obtained. School consists of lectures, practical exercises in laboratories, data analysis and field visit to laboratories within the State.
