Lecture, chapter 9 - From genes to proteins

Monday, April 12, 2010

We started chapter 9, on transcription and translation.

We covered the transcription process at a basic level, touching on its three stages (initiation, elongation, termination) and the role of different DNA sequences (promoter, gene [narrowly defined], terminator) in the process. Then we discussed mRNA processing (5'-capping, polyadenylation)
