This module aims to provide you with an understanding of the fundamentally important processes involved in the mechanism and regulation of gene expression mainly in eukaryotes. It also introduces you to the range of biological mechanisms that control structure and stability of the genetic material, DNA, mainly in the context of micro-organisms, using mainly Escherichia coli and Sacchromyces cerevisiae as the prokaryotic and eukaryotic model systems. It builds on the Semester 1Principles of Molecular Biology, and assumes knowledge gained in BIOL146 with the intention of preparing you for Honours schools including Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.
