Advanced Molecular Genetics (Alneelain University)

Course Overview

This PhD-level course provides a comprehensive exploration of the molecular mechanisms that regulate genome function, gene expression, and genetic variation. Students will investigate advanced topics such as epigenetics, non-coding RNAs, genome editing, systems biology, and molecular pathology. Practical bioinformatics skills and critical scientific thinking are integrated through virtual lab modules and journal clubs.

Learning Objectives

• Develop a deep understanding of the principles of advanced molecular genetics.
• Critically analyze and interpret primary scientific literature in the field.
• Master practical bioinformatics tools for genomic data analysis.
• Understand the mechanisms of genome editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9.
• Apply knowledge of systems biology to complex genetic pathways.
