AGSC 6010 - Gene Structure and Function (3)

This is graduate level course about genes, how the information they contain is transmitted and expressed in the form of a phenotype. Students will study nucleic acid structure and the mechanics of replication, repair, transcription, and translation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A central goal is understanding gene regulation at different levels and the structure-function relationships of nucleic acids and proteins. Particular attention will be given to applications of this knowledge in gene manipulation organisms for biotechnological products.
