| Description:
| Aims:
To provide an understanding of the exciting new advances in Gene regulation and eukaryotic cell differentiation.
Learning Outcomes:
After taking this course the student should be able to:
* Explain modulation of gene expression at various levels.
* Explain the molecular basis of the coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation.
* Explain the molecular and biochemical basis of cell differentiation and lineage commitment.
Skills:
Learning and studying T/F/A, Written communication T/F/A, Information handling & retrieval T/F/A, Working independently T/F/A, oral presentation T/F/A.
Content:
This will be a student seminar and discussion course.
The topics include regulation of gene expression in differentiation, chromatin remodelling, transcription factors, phosphorylation and dephosphorylation and acetylation and deacetylation, in regulating gene expression, post-transcriptional control and function of microRNAs.
