BIOSC 2150 - NUCLEIC ACIDS

Minimum Credits: 2
Maximum Credits: 2
BIOSC 2150 focuses on the molecular biology of DNA and RNA, and how biological information is stored, replicated, recombined, and processed. Topics to be discussed include: DNA replication and its regulation; DNA segregation; homologous, illegitimate and site-specific recombination; DNA repair; structural and functional roles of RNA in the activity and regulation of telomerase; small nuclear rnas and the spliceosome; processing of ribosomal and transfer RNAs; regulation by micro RNAs and long non-coding RNAs. There will be an emphasis on the primary literature.
