Topic outline

  • Introduction to Medical Genetics




    Instructor: Dr Ashley Edward Roy Soosay

    Course Synopsis

    This course will discuss the basic and fundamental aspects of molecular biology and genetics. It begins with a review of what is now referred to as central dogma of molecular biology. The flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to Protein. The five topics presented in this OCW module will cover the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology, which is the Molecule of Heredity. 

    The focus will then shift to applied knowledge of molecular genetics in medical field. Finally the course will discuss some applications of this knowledge in our everyday life. In general, this course will also address pertinent aspects of some common medical problems encountered by the society. It will highlight the underlying genetic explanation to these common medical problems.

    • Topic 1: Molecules of Heredity

    • Topic 2: Properties of DNA

      • This open educational resource module will discuss the basic and fundamental aspects of molecular biology and genetics. In this part of the resource we will discuss DNA properties and structural variation. 

    • Topic 3: Major differences between Eukaryotic DNA and RNA

      • This open educational resource module will discuss the basic and fundamental aspects of molecular biology and genetics. The focus of this module is to distinguish the differences between the two members of the nucleic acid.

    • Topic 4: Human Chromosome

      • This open educational resource will describe the organization of the DNA molecule into chromosome. We will also discuss the technique to study chromosome.

    • Topic 5: Human Karyotype

      • In this section of the open educational resource module we will focus on the discussion regarding the chromosome classification.
