BB40118 Current topics in gene regulation and cell differentiation

Credits: 6
Level: Masters
Semester: 2
Assessment: CW 100%
Requisites:
Before taking this unit you must take BB10005 and take BB10006 and take BB20024 and take BB20025 and take BB20149 and take BB30055
Or you must have taken suitable degree units from another University.
Aims & Learning Objectives:
Aims: To provide an understanding of the exciting new advances in Gene regulation and eukaryotic cell differentiation. After taking this course the student should have gained an in depth knowledge of:
* modulation of gene expression at various levels.
* the molecular basis of the coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation.
* the molecular and biochemical basis of cell differentiation and lineage commitment
Content:
This will be a student seminar and discussion course. The topics include cell cycle control, cell death and differentiation, chromatin remodelling, phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in regulating gene expression, acetylation and deacetylation, post-transcriptional and translational control, cell matrix interactions.
