Guru Nanak Dev University Offers Short Term Course on Gene Expression in Eukaryotes

Guru Nanak Dev Univeristy is conducting a short term course on 'posttranscriptional control of gene expression in eukaryotes.' Eukaryotes is an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus.

This course will provide a background in concepts and will include an overview of current
experimental approaches that are used to study aspects of posttranscriptional regulation.
Upon completion of the course, participants will:
1. Be familiar with the current state of knowledge of mechanisms of mRNA biogenesis,
processing, functioning, and turnover.
2. Understand the methodology behind the advances and current study of
posttranscriptional control mechanisms.
3. Be cognizant of the theoretical underpinnings of the field.
4. Be able to formulate and test hypotheses that pertain to the role(s) that
posttranscriptional control may play in gene expression.
