1. The Structure of DNA:

   • This module provides an introduction to the fundamental molecule of life, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
   • Students will learn about the double helix structure of DNA, including the roles of nucleotides, base pairing, and the sugar-phosphate backbone.
   • Key concepts such as DNA replication, transcription, and translation will be introduced to lay the groundwork for further exploration.

2. Genome Structure, Chromatin, and the Nucleosome:

   • This module explores the organization of DNA into higher-order structures within the cell nucleus.
   • Students will learn about the packaging of DNA into chromatin and the role of histones in forming nucleosomes.
   • The module will cover topics such as chromatin remodeling, epigenetics, and the regulation of gene expression.

3. The Replication of DNA:

   • In this module, students will delve into the process of DNA replication, a fundamental mechanism for the faithful transmission of genetic information.
   • The module will cover the molecular machinery involved in DNA replication, including DNA polymerases, replication forks, and the roles of various enzymes and proteins.
   • Concepts such as DNA repair mechanisms and replication fidelity will also be discussed.

4. Repair of DNA:

• This module focuses on the various mechanisms cells employ to repair DNA damage and maintain genomic integrity.
• Students will learn about different types of DNA damage, including chemical modifications, UV-induced lesions, and double-strand breaks.
• The module will cover DNA repair pathways such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, mismatch repair, and homologous recombination.
