Regulation of Gene Expression in Eukaryotes

Catalog description

Pre-requisite: BCHM 8500 or BCHM 8511 and BCHM 8512. This course is about fundamental aspects of molecular biology and regulation of gene expression. It includes the structure and properties of genetic material, epigenetic modifications, and the role of transcription factors in regulation of gene expression. It also analyzes aspects of regulation at the level of translation. The projections of some of these fundamentals aspects in medicine are discussed. BCHM 8531 - Research Seminar Series I.
