Overview

ASCP MB (Molecular Biology) is a certification offered by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) for laboratory professionals who specialize in molecular biology. The certification is designed to validate the knowledge and skills of individuals who work in molecular diagnostics, including the identification and analysis of genetic material and the use of molecular techniques to diagnose and monitor disease. The ASCP MB certification exam covers a range of topics related to molecular biology, including nucleic acid extraction and analysis, PCR (polymerase chain reaction), DNA sequencing, gene expression analysis, and laboratory management. The exam is designed to test the candidate's knowledge and proficiency in these areas and is offered as a computer-based test. To be eligible to take the ASCP MB exam, candidates must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and either one year of full-time experience in a molecular biology laboratory or a molecular biology training program. Alternatively, candidates can also qualify for the exam with a master's or doctoral degree in a related field. Obtaining the ASCP MB certification demonstrates to employers and colleagues that an individual has a strong understanding of molecular biology principles and is proficient in the use of molecular techniques for diagnostic purposes. It can also help individuals advance their career opportunities and earn higher salaries in the field of molecular biology.The Technologist in Molecular Biology MB(ASCP) certification examination offered by the ASCP Board of Certification (BOC) is composed of 100 questions given in a 2 hour 30 minute time frame. All exam questions are multiple-choice with one best answer. The certification exam is administered using the format of computer adaptive testing (CAT).The MB exam questions encompass the following content areas within Molecular Biology: Molecular Science, MolecularTechniques, Laboratory Operations, and Applications of Molecular Testing. Each of these content areas comprises aspecific percentage of the overall 100-question exam.Introduction to the courseProvides information onBrief introduction on TutorBenefits from the courseTopics/Structure of the courseWho can enroll to the courseUNIT 1: ReplicationCentral Dogma of biologyReplication of DNASemiconservative replicationComplimentary base pairingSupercoil and DNA topoisomeraseReplication forkDNA synthesis catalysed by DNA PolymeraseDNA Damage and RepairNucleotide Excision RepairBase Excision RepairMismatch Repair systemUNIT 2: TranscriptionCentral Dogma of Lifewhat is TranscriptionMechanism Of TranscriptionIn ProkaryotesInitiationelongationTerminationIn EukaryotesInitiation is initiated with help of promotor regionTAAT Box and Pribnow BoxElongationEnhancers and SilencersTerminationPost Transcriptional ModificationAddition of Cap and Poly A tailSplicing Of mRNAmRNA EditingInhibitors of TranscriptionReverse Transcriptase and RNA Degradation.UNIT 3: TranslationGenetic CodeFeatures Of Genetic CodeCodon - Anticodon Pairingwobble HypothesisLink Between Amino Acid And Nucleic AcidTranslation In ProkaryotesInitiationElongationTerminationHow much Energy is consumed during the ProcessTranslation in EukaryotesInitiation with Pre Initiation complexAssociation of Ribosomal SubunitElongationTermination using Termination CodonsRelease FactorsPost Translational ModificationTrimmingStructural ReorganisationModification at N and C Terminal EndsCovalent ModificationHow much Of energy is consumed during the process of TranslationUnit 4: Regulation of Gene ExpressionEnhancers and silencersHouse keeping and invisible genesOne cistron -one subunit conceptDNA organisation and Gene expressionCovalent Modification of Histones control Gene expressionRegulation of Gene Expression in Prokaryotes:Lac operonstructure of Lac OperonTryptophan regulation in EukaryotesStructure of Tryptophan Operon with structural geneWho this course is for:Students who are in graduation level in the field of biology, molecular biology and Biotechnology
