About This Course
This Genetic Engineering course is built on the industry-aligned curriculum from NYERAS Edutech & Innovations. You will learn the history and scope of genetic engineering, core molecular biology (genes, DNA, RNA, proteins, central dogma), and essential lab techniques—DNA isolation, PCR, gel electrophoresis, and spectrophotometric analysis.
You will work with restriction enzymes, ligases, cloning, vectors, and gene delivery systems; master gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, RNAi, and mutagenesis; and explore protein expression and purification. The course also covers applications in GMOs, therapeutic proteins, gene therapy, biosensors, bioinformatics (NCBI, GenBank, primer design, CRISPR off-target analysis), and ethical, legal, and regulatory aspects of biotechnology.
