Gene Expression: Genes serve as the fundamental units of inheritance, carrying genetic information that dictates the traits of an organism. The instructions
What is Gene Expression? The discovery of the structure of DNA provids a understanding how a cell uses its genes to make proteins. This is known as gene expression
Mutations are permanent changes in a DNA sequence, this altered DNA sequence can be reflected by changes in the base sequence of mRNA, and sometimes, by cha ...
This book, which results from the dramatic increase in interest in the control mechanism employed in gene expression and the importance of the regulated proteins, presents new information not covered in Translational Regulation of Gene Expression, which was published in 1987. It is not a revision of the earlier book but, rather, an extension of that volume witl, special emphasis on mecha- nIsm. As the reader will discover, there is enormous diversity in the systems employing genes for translational regulation in order to regulate the appearance of the final product-the protein. Thus, we find that important proteins such as protooncogenes, growth factors, stress proteins, cytokines, lymphokines, iron- storage and iron-uptake proteins, and a panorama of prokaryotic proteins, as well as eukaryotic viral proteins, are translationally regulated. Since for some gene products the degree of control is greater by a few orders of magnitude than their transcription, we can state that for these genes, at least, the expression is translationall y controlled. Translational regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes has emerged in the last few years as a major research field. The present book describes mechanisms of translational regulation in bacteria, yeast, and eukaryotic viruses, as well as in eukaryotic genes. In this book we try to provide in-depth coverage by including important examples from each group rather than systematically including all additional systems not described in the previous volume.
The role of RNA in regulating gene expression has become a topic of intense interest. In this book, internationally recognized experts in RNA research explore and discuss the methods whereby RNA can regulate gene expression with examples in yeast, Drosophila, mammals, and viral infection, as well as highlight the application of this knowledge in therapeutics and research. Topics include: gene silencing and gene activation, the hammerhead ribozyme, epigenetic regulation, RNAi, microRNA, and pyknons. This comprehensive publication is intended for readers with teaching or research interests in RNA, the regulation of gene expression, genetics, genomics, and molecular biology.
These are the study aids I made for a Genetics class that I took in the fall of 2011. There is a lot of class-specific material in this set like the information relating to the Lac operon and Gal g…
In many biological processes the regulation of gene expression involves epigenetic mechanisms. In this new edition of Epigenetics, 36 chapters written by experts in the field introduce and explain epigenetic effects from many perspectives. These include the varied molecular mechanisms underpinning epigenetic regulation, discussion of cellular processes that rely on this kind of regulation, and surveys of model organisms in which epigenetic effects have been most studied. The original chapters have all been rewritten and brand new chapters cover topics such as the structure, function, and dynamics of histone-modifying enzymes and histone-interacting proteins. Other chapters address chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, siRNAs, and gene silencing; X-chromosome inactivation, dosage compensation, and imprinting; and epigenetics in microbes, plants, insects, and mammals. How epigenetic mechanisms act in cell division and cell type specification, and how errors in these pathways contribute to cancer and other human diseases are also considered, along with the importance of epigenetics for induced pluripotency and reprogramming. In addition, new chapters describe the involvement of epigenetic processes in epigenetic inheritance, neuronal development, metabolism and signaling, responses to the environment, and long-range chromatin interactions. A series of short essays highlight important recent discoveries. All the chapters provide conceptual illustrations that help readers understand epigenetic control. The book is thus a benchmark text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on gene regulation, as well as an essential resource for scientists interested in this rapidly moving field.

Aligned to the AP Biology Course and Exam Description! Review and study resources for Gene Expression and Regulation. Works great as an AP Biology Test Review or comprehensive study guide. This resource is designed to help guide your AP Biology students to learn, study, and review all of the topics in Unit 6. Perfect for distance learning or in class review! Each Essential Standard is written out on the left side of the paper, with focused, aligned, open ended questions on the right side for students to work through. Review and Study Questions for each Learning Objective: 6.1 DNA and RNA Structure 6.2 Replication 6.3 Transcription and RNA Processing 6.4 Translation 6.5 Regulation of Gene Expression 6.6 Gene Expression and Cell Specialization 6.7 Mutations 6.8 Biotechnology Product includes a link to a digital copy of this document. Open it in Google Docs and then make a copy for your own Google Drive to edit as needed! PLUS you can share with your students to complete digitally! Includes an Answer Key! **BONUS** Save hours of time searching for resources to teach with! Purchase includes a list of links to 33 extra resources - arranged and organized for each unit topic. These are resources I use myself, so if you have questions about any of them, just ask! The list includes online interactive activities, video clips, and Lab ideas and classroom activities for your students. Since the internet is constantly changing, some links go dead every year. I spend part of my summer weeding through the links, deleting and replacing any dead ones as I can. I then send out an update for everyone to have the new links. My AP Biology students benefit tremendously from having quick access to the Essential Knowledge standards and these guiding questions. After going through each set, they feel confident they are ready for the Test! This resource can be used… While going through a Unit as a working document, students can add to it as they learn Just before a Unit test as a study guide At the end of the semester to prepare for the AP Biology Exam It is helpful to have students begin by going through the Essential Knowledge itself, highlighting key vocabulary. This gives them a good foundation to grow from, they know what to look for and what is important as they learn about, or review for the Unit. When my students use these as review, I put them into small groups of three or four. They work together to complete the questions. Then students get into new groups and review their answers. I help guide them and help with questions that they can not come to an agreement on. Looking for more AP Biology Curriculum resources? All eight units are available!
