DNA Replication

DNA Replication comes under the domain of molecular genetics. Here we will learn about the intricate mechanisms of DNA replication and gain insights about the fidelity of the process. The passing on of genetic information requires the duplication of genetic material during the S phase of the cell cycle. Replication requires proteins or enzymes that catalyse the polymerisation. The process is different in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A different sets of proteins are involved in the same. The fidelity and processivity of replication machinery is highly accurate. There are repair pathways that operate to correct errors during replication. Students will gain insights about one of the most fundamental process happening at the molecular level. It's a conserved process in all living forms. There are a lot of experiments related to the same and students would get a touch of research methodologies in this course.
