Genetics and Genomics

The Genetics and Genomics certification course is structured with a student-oriented framework. This curriculum is intended to enable any biology participant who has undergone 10+2 to assimilate most of the lessons contained in this section. It continues with a quick description of genetics and genomics, followed by classical biology sessions and advanced genetics sessions. The Genetics and Genomics certification will enable the candidates to learn and understand how genetic knowledge in DNA influences what an individual appears like and how it functions. Awareness of genetics and genomics is also important for understanding the evolution of plants, habitats, and species. 

The Genetics and Genomics training will help the learners take a variety of forthcoming and much-needed post-graduate courses focused on subjects. The course will allow the students to learn about the ongoing influential topics like the principle of genetics transmission, quantitative genetics, mutation, genetic code, and translation, etc that will ultimately engage the students to their relative influence. 

When the students finish this curriculum, he/she will have a comprehensive understanding of classical and advanced genetics and will be prepared to pursue any advanced postgraduate programs focused on genetics such as medical genetics, behavioral and learning genetics, computational biology, ecological genetic factors, biotechnology, etc.

Human Genetics

It can be scientifically interesting to research human genetics, but it also has lots of practical applications. A detailed understanding of the human genome can have significant legal, social and medical effects, from the use of DNA in court proceedings to the development of new treatments for genetic diseases. One of the most compelling reasons for researching the human genome is understanding the genetic basis behind the human illness. Early diagnosis can help improve the quality of life or even prolong the lifetime of sufferers, but many genetic conditions are not treatable.

Current genetic therapy clinical trials deliver the promise of future therapies that can provide a symptom-free life to sufferers. Diagnostic tests may help couples determine whether to risk passing on to their children particular disease related genes. Tests allow doctors of in vitro fertility to precisely pick embryos which do not bear the hazardous gene.

This Human Genetics programme from SWAYAM will be teaching it’s candidates about human genetics at an undergraduate level. This 12 weeks programme will be delivered through online and candidates will be able to do the programme at their comfort.

Principles of Genetics

A four-credit course, the Principles of Genetics course by Swayam has been specially designed for undergraduates of all life science programmes. The online course aims to equip candidates with the fundamental knowledge of heredity, genetics, and inheritance. And to build a foundational understanding of the various biological principles. 

Spread over 12 weeks, the Principles of Genetics certification syllabus broadly covers the genetics' fundamentals, Mendelism and its extensions, Linkage and Extranuclear inheritance, and sex determination. Each unit, spread across three weeks, contains 15 hours of teaching for a comprehensive understanding of the concepts. 

Other core topics covered in the Principles of Genetics programme are laws of inheritances, gene functions, Mendel's principles, gene interactions, genetics' framework, among others. 

However, they can only avail of the Principles of Genetics certification after paying the certification fee and meeting the minimum marks criteria in the internal assessment and end-term exam.

Basic Human Genetics

This is a massive open online course on the fundamentals of human genetics for the students of undergraduate level. This online program is focused on delivering insights on various diseases related to human genetics and the aspects of genotype and phenotype. This online certification course is provided by the Swayam portal in collaboration with the Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC). The classes are held online for a period of six weeks and the students of this elective course will gain experiential learning.

The course instructor for this program is Prof. Md. Niamat Ali from the Environmental Science department, P. G. Centre of Microbiology at Centre of Research for Development (CORD) in the University of Kashmir. The students of this course are provided with course modules and other online resources to develop a detailed understanding of the concepts.

The ‘Basic Human Genetics’ online certification program ensures students with knowledge acquisition along with the E-Certificate and credit points for this program under the Biological Sciences & Bioengineering domain.

Human Molecular Genetics

Available at the UG/PG level, the Human Molecular Genetics programme on the Swayam portal provides an introductory understanding of genetic counselling and biomedical research. In just four weeks, you will cover the primary tools and techniques involved in genetic study.

The Human Molecular Genetics syllabus comprehensively touches upon the rapid advancements that define the human genome's role in understanding disease and health. Additionally, you will learn the core concepts of pedigree analysis, the inheritance of human traits, and chromosome organisation.

As the Human Molecular Genetics course progresses, you will become familiar with molecular biology tools for understanding gene structure, gene mapping, gene mutation, genome, and gene cloning strategies. The course concludes with an analysis of HapMap and the human genome project.

Besides, the Human Molecular Genetics certification course curriculum is rife with numerous learning aids. You will receive weekly lectures, books & references, and an online forum for discussions. If you meet the qualifying criteria, you can also obtain an e-certificate.
