This course aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge of molecular genetics, including the structure and organization of genetic material, gene expression, mutation mechanisms, and genome analysis. It also aims to develop practical skills in essential molecular genetics laboratory techniques, such as DNA isolation, DNA quality and quantity assessment, PCR, electrophoresis, RFLP, and microarray analysis, enabling students to analyze and interpret molecular genetic data.

This course covers the structure of the nucleus and genetic material, chromatin and chromosome organization, the central dogma, mutations and mutation analysis methods, gene and genome structure, genomics, proteomics, the cell cycle, programmed cell death, immunogenetics, stem cell biology, gene–environment interactions, pharmacogenomics, and cellular aging. The laboratory component includes the principles and practical applications of DNA isolation, DNA quality and quantity assessment, PCR optimization, agarose gel electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, RFLP, and microarray techniques.
