Description
This course covers synthesis, processing, transport and translation of RNA in micro-organisms and eukaryotes. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression will be the main topic; however, a review of the feneral mechanisms of eukaryotic gene activation and respression will also be covered.
Course Goals
Students will:
- develop an appreciation of the complexity of eukaryotic transcriptional control.
- acquire knowledge regarding basic principles of gene activation and repression.
- become familiar with the molecular events involved in DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA-based mechanisms of epigenetic regulation
- How to extract information regarding gene and promoter structure from online bioinformatics databases
Library Access
Distance Education and UF Online Students enjoy the same library privileges as on-campus students.
