REF. CODE: TM-GP-001
June 12 - 13, 2019
Duration:
Two days (6 hours lecture and 10 hours practical sessions)
Lecture: 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Hands-on Training: 12:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Prerequisite/s:
Essential Lab Skills and GLP & BioSafety and Lab Safety
(Note: Some background knowledge of biology and high-level familiarity with structure and functions of cells is expected.)
The trainee will:
- understand the nature, structure and function of genes, chromosomes and genomes;
- explore the role of genes, chromosomes and genetic methods in protein function, gene regulation, health and inherited diseases;
- categorize how molecular cell biology explains cell function at the level of an individual cell, and as part of a tissue or organism;
- realize the existing and emerging model organisms of genetic research;
- learn about the different types of samples that can be used for DNA analysis and the different preparation procedures required for each sample type;
- learn various DNA extraction methods applied to a variety of tissue types;
- follow the general process of the collection and preparation of a sample followed by the extraction and analysis of the DNA; andgain understanding on fundamental molecular techniques including DNA extraction using an experimental organism such as cell cultured samples, amplification (using PCR), sequencing and interpretation.
