Regulação da Expressão Genética

This course will provide a solid grounding in the molecular aspects of the expression and regulation of genetic information in living cells. It is expected that on completion of the module students are able to: (i) explain the mechanisms responsible for the regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes; (ii) explain the relationship between the organisation of genes and regulation of their expression; (iii) identify methodologies of gene expression manipulation and applications; (iv) and, carry out and interpret experiments illustrating aspects of the concepts described above..
