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 X,  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.
