About this course
- In Part 2 of this Molecular Biology course, you’ll explore transcription of DNA to RNA, a key part of the central dogma of biology and the first step of gene expression.
- Did you know that transposable elements, the genetic information that can move from location to location, make up roughly 50% of the human genome?
- Did you know that scientists have linked their movement into specific genes to the causes of certain diseases?
- You’ll also learn how these “jumping genes” work and how scientists study them in Molecular Biology: Transcription and Transposition.
- How to compare and contrast transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes
- How to describe several mechanisms of transposition
- How to analyze protein structures to infer functional information
- How to design the best experiment to test a hypothesis
- How to interpret data from transcription and transposition experiments
