Course Objectives
To attain an advanced understanding of gene expression via synthesizing mechanistic perspectives with advanced conceptual framework, to be able to critically evaluate how different modes of transcriptional regulation (chromatin, enhancers, nuclear architecture, etc.) affect static, dynamic and spatial aspects of transcription to eventually lead to patterns, organismal phenotypes and evolutionary paths.
Course Content
Gene expression with a structural and mechanistic understanding. Control mechanisms at the transcriptional level, in prokaryotes, and at the levels of messenger RNA processing and translation, in eukaryotes. The metabolic activities concerned with the regulation of gene's potential for expression. Review and discussion of various topics in recent articles.(R)*
