Lecture, Chapter 6 - Transcription

After finishing chapter 5, on the few details that differ in eukaryotic DNA replication compared to that in prokaryotes, we started chapter 6, on transcription.

We talked about the basics of the synthesis of transcripts, and got acquainted with some new terms like cistron, open reading frame (ORF), monocistronic and polycistronic mRNAs, and operon.

Tomorrow: Exam 1...!!!
