Catalogue data
| Abstract | The course introduces the cellular processes and molecular mechanisms involved in regulating genome expression at the post-transcriptional level. Topics will include : -RNA processing, and transport; -protein synthesis and translational control, trafficking and degradation; -RNA-guided regulation (RNA interference, microRNAs); -molecular surveillance and quality control mechanisms |
| Learning objective | -Outline the cellular processes used by eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells to control gene expression at the post- transcriptional level. -Describe the molecular mechanisms underlying post-transcriptional gene regulation -Identify experimental approaches used to study post-transcriptional gene regulation and describe their strengths and weaknesses. |
