| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1185 This course will focus on how RNA regulation mediated by RNA-binding proteins dictates and responds to cellular physiology at the molecular level. Students will approach this problem using a range of techniques including biochemistry, molecular genetics, systems biology, bioinformatics and mammalian tissue culture. Students will use an established functional genomic dataset to develop new tools and cell-lines in order to uncover the molecular mechanisms of RNA regulation and connect this regulation to physiological events such as amino acid transport in skeletal muscle cells. As a supplement to lab work, students will explore the scientific literature and have opportunities to present their scientific findings in both written and oral format to hone their scientific communication skills.; Prerequisite(s): Instructor Consent; Enrollment Limit: 7 Natural Science, C: Physical and Natural Processes (; Hav: NA, C) |
