Prerequisites:
It is recommended that the student has had an undergraduate course in
biochemistry or molecular biology.
Objectives:
The goal of this course is for students to acquire a working knowledge of the
various methods by which gene expression can be controlled. A
side-by-side comparison of these mechanisms for both prokaryotes and
eukaryotes will be explored. It is anticipated that at the end of this
course, students will become proficient at reading the primary literature in
gene regulation.
Course
Structure: The course is
3 credit hours which meets twice a week for 2 hours per session. The
course will be conducted by didactic lectures, as well as, class discussion of
current reviews and primary papers. The students will be assigned a
grade solely based on exams. Grades will be scaled with the class
average @ B.
Reading
Material: Readings will
mainly consist of recent reviews and primary articles as assigned by the
individual Instructors. Genes IX, by Benjamin Lewin is recommended as a
text for general background. A copy of the text has been placed on
reserve in the library.
Course
Evaluation: The course will be
evaluated by the students as per standard UAMS procedures. Each
Instructor will also be evaluated by the students.
