MB&B513
Topics in Regulation of Eukaryotic Gene Expression
MB&B513 FA
This graduate seminar course will focus on recent advances
in understanding the control of gene expression. The
emphasis will be on control at the level of transcription.
The reading and discussion of important recent research
papers will be aimed at making it possible to deduce some
conclusions of general significance about how control is
exerted, as well as about the experimental approaches that
have been most useful and are likely to be useful in the
future. Aspects of cell differentiation and development
will be included. Upper level undergraduates with a strong
background in molecular biology may enroll in this course
with permission of instructor.
The course will run the first half of the semester.

Review articles and original research
papers.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Weekly reports on the readings
and one or more longer oral presentations, as well as one
