The DNA Replication: Molecular Mechanisms and Biological Significance course provides learners with a thorough understanding of one of the most essential processes in molecular biology and genetics. The course examines the semi-conservative nature of DNA replication and the coordinated action of key enzymes involved in DNA synthesis, including DNA polymerases, helicase, primase, and ligase.
Students will explore the molecular events occurring at the replication fork and compare replication mechanisms in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. Emphasis is placed on replication accuracy, regulatory mechanisms, and the biological and clinical consequences of replication errors, building a strong foundation for advanced studies in genetics, biotechnology, and biomedical sciences.
This course has been curated by Riphah International University faculty and staff using publicly available third-party content and Open Educational Resources (OER) for self-paced learning. Learners will engage with curated open-access materials to achieve the course learning outcomes. All third-party content is used under open-access or fair-use policies, while any original materials are developed specifically for this learning experience.
