Molecular Genetics

About this programme

The course teaches the basic molecular mechanisms that ensure inheritance and expression of the genetic material in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The cellular information flow (DNA-RNA-protein), how gene expression is regulated and large-scale sequencing methods. The course includes two practical exercises. We will go through several examples of gene regulation at different levels in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The courses will also concern modern large-scale sequencing methods and how they are used to investigate molecular genetic questions. The course includes both theoretical and practical exercises. A list of the learning outcomes can be found in the syllabus. Please find the link to the syllabus on the right side of this page. Nancy L. Craig, Rachel R. Green, Carol C. Greider, Gisela G.
