document for summary for midterm. focuses on definitions of important terms to know for DNA transcription, interference, transformation, etc. Terms include RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, RNAi, siRNA, miRNA, etc.), recombinant technology, ORI, DNA ligase, blotting techniques, PCR, transfection, CRISPR/Cas system, transient expression, exons/introns, simple-sequence repeats, SINEs and LINEs, CENP-A Histones, telomeres, transposons, heterochromatin, DNA ligase, steps for replication, etc.. To reiterate -- these are largely definitions to help organize everything and some brief steps (i.e. steps for replication broken into 10 summary steps). Good for review before exam or for studying for MCAT Biology. There are about 30 questions including to think about and to aim to learn for such topics. Answers are NOT provided and not all the questions are straightforward -- they will require you to critically think and apply! Incredibly helpful.
