The course will impart advanced knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms and machinery of expression of eukaryotic genes, emphasizing mammals, but also introducing material, where relevant, from studies of plant, fungal and invertebrate genes as well as of bacterial and viral genes.

Sisältö

Topics to be covered include the basal transcription machinery, transcriptional regulation, chromatin and epigenetics, polyadenylation, RNA splicing, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translational regulation, RNA interference and RNA turnover, -omics and organellar gene expression. The course will be concept-based rather than methods-based, and it will link mechanistic knowledge to concepts from development, physiology and evolution.
