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

Sisältö

Topics to be covered include the basal transcription machinery and regulation, chromatin and epigenetics, modification and procesing of RNAs, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translational machinery and 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.
