Objectives and Outcomes

Course Objectives

The course will aim at introducing the concepts pertaining to DNA replication and will equip the students to explore the question where in the genome does the DNA replication will begin. Further it will motivate the students to investigate the origin of various rhythms observed in human body such as circadian rhythm and how they are encoded in the DNA

Course Outcomes

CO1 To investigate DNA replication.
CO2 To investigate the encodings in DNA to maintain various rhythms associated with the body.
CO3 To introduce state of the art computational algorithms to understand DNA encodings.
