Description

Hagan, John. One semester hour. Spring, annually. Grading System: Letter Grade

The goal of this mini-course is to learn cutting-edge RNA biology within a historical context. This course will focus on recent research in RNA biology: differential RNA processing and stability (splicing, polyadenylation, and turnover), the functional significance of various classes of non-coding RNAs (microRNAs, lncRNAs, cRNAs, ceRNAs, eRNAs, etc…), the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and RNA epitranscriptomics (RNA methylation and terminal uridylation). Class lectures and discussions will be predominantly student-led with assistance of topic area experts. Overall, there will be 12 class meetings (two meetings per week) at 1.25 hours each.
