In this three-week course, we will learn about DNA, the molecule that provides instructions to all life on Earth. We will learn about the structure of the DNA molecule and see how it relates to its functions,
both in naturally occurring cells and, increasingly, in biotechnology applications such as DNA profiling, genetically modified organisms, and CRISPR-based genetic engineering. This course is meant for nonscientists and no prior knowledge is assumed.

Eric Simon is a Professor of Biology at New England College and writer of many textbooks crafted for all levels of education.
