Summary Molecular Genetics

Document preview thumbnail
Aperçu 4 sur 41 pages

This summary contains in detail explanations about molecular genetics. Chapter one covers genome replication: what is DNA replication, initation of replication, elonagion of DNA replication and termination. It also discusses the end problem. Chapter 2 covers mutations & repair: it discusses the fidelity problem, mutations (spontaneous and induced) such as point mutations, insertions and deletions, replication slippage and tautmerization, base analogs, deaminating agents, alkylating agents intercalating agents and physical mutagens. It also covers DNA repair systems such as direct repair, base excision repair, nucleotide exsision repair and mismatch repair. Chapter 3 covers genetic recombination: homologous recombination and gene conversion, and which systems play a role in homologous recombination. Chapter 4 looks at specialized recombination such as transposition and site specific recombination. It covers DNA-type elements and retrotransposons. Chapter 5 covers transcription and splicing and all the systems involved. Regulation, termination and elongation of transcription in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes will be discussed. Chapter 6 looks in detail at transcription factors and how they regulate transcription and how DNA interactions with transcription factors can be studied. It also explains DNA sequencing techniques such as sanquer sequencing and next-gen. Chapter 7 covers the genomes of prokayotes and eukaryotes and looks at taxonomy and the pan-genome and in detail organization of the genomes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Chapter 8 covers interactions between chromosomes and how they can be studied, regulation of transcription by acylation of histones and methylation of DNA and how the genome reacts to the external environment. Chapter 9 covers everything about RNA, the different kinds and their structures and the function of different RNA structures. Chapter 10 is about the proteome, so everything about translation initation, elongation and termination and how proteins are folded and modified. Chapter 11 looks into gene functions and how it can be studied.
