Exploring Genes and Genomes

This lecture covers the composition and structure of proteins, protein synthesis, proteomes, gel DNA electrophoresis, recombinant DNA technology, polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing, and the exploration of genes and genomes. It explains the application of restriction enzymes, the mechanism of protection against viruses, and the sequencing of DNA using Sanger's method. The lecture also delves into the amplification of DNA sequences through the polymerase chain reaction, the cleavage of plasmids, and the sequencing of genomes. It concludes with a discussion on the history of DNA sequencing and the Human Genome Project.
