Gene Expression and Regulation · Spring Term
Control of Transcription and Translation
Mechanisms that turn genes on or off, including the role of oestrogen and siRNA.
Key Questions
- 1How do transcription factors identify and bind to specific promoter regions of DNA?
- 2In what ways does RNA interference provide a mechanism for post-transcriptional gene silencing?
- 3How can understanding gene regulation lead to new treatments for genetic disorders?
