Today we finished chapter 3, mentioning the basics of the different functions of RNA and protein structure.
We then started chapter 4, on genes, genomes and DNA, which is our second strop in the class roadmap: How DNA is organized in organisms and how such organization affects its function.
We discussed how little genetic information is necessary for independent life and the importance of non-coding DNA in eukaryotes. We talked about pseudogenes, introns, and repeated sequences (tandem repeats and intersperse elements).
