DNA Sequencing for Novices provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental techniques and tools used in the field of biotechnology. Participants will engage in hands-on projects that facilitate a deep understanding of sequencing methodologies, data analysis, and practical applications in healthcare and nutrition. The course emphasizes interactive learning, encouraging students to collaborate on projects and publish their findings in Cademix Magazine, enhancing both their experience and professional visibility.
Throughout the course, learners will explore a variety of sequencing technologies, from Sanger sequencing to next-generation sequencing (NGS). The curriculum is designed to equip participants with the skills necessary to interpret sequencing data and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. By the end of the program, students will have completed a final project that showcases their understanding of DNA sequencing and its implications in biotechnology.
