Abstract

advanced lecture in microbial genetics. Covers genome structure, classical genetics, DNA repair, replication, gene expression, regulation, genome plasticity, horizontal gene transfer.

Objective

Molecular and mechanistic insights into microbial and eukaryotic genetics

Content

advanced lecture in microbial genetics. Covers genome structure, classical genetics, DNA repair, replication, gene expression, regulation, genome plasticity, horizontal gene transfer. The lectures on "Molecular Genetics of Eukaryotes" cover: Structure and function of eukaryotic genomes, concepts, key experiments, chromatin, mechanisms of transcription, replication, DNA-repair and recombination, epigenetics, reverse genetics.
