This module provides fundamental understanding of what genomes and proteomes are, in addition to structure and function aspects.

Among many themes, the module discusses, the Central Dogma of Biology in the light of the existance of phenomina such as the reverse translation from RNA to DNA, direction translation of some RNA genomes such as the +ssRNA, Ribozymes and the Rqc2 mechanism (proteins seem to code and edit short peptides/proteins!)

In addition, CRISPR mechanism and technology are provided.
