Course Objectives
To attain an advanced understanding of gene expression with a structural and mechanistic perspectives including epigenetic control mechanisms at the transcriptional level and regulation of translation in eukaryotes, regulatory RNAs in gene control and the gene's potential for expression in specific cell types, epigenetics in the development of human diseases and prospects for epigenetic therapy
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)*
