Yesterday we covered most of the relevant section in chapter 9, on transcriptional gene regulation in prokaryotes. Today we finished and started chapter 10, on transcriptional gene regulation in eukaryotes.
Transcriptional gene regulation in prokaryotes covers the basics of gene regulation, including the concepts of global and specific regulation, activators and repressors, and regulation at transcription termination.
Transcription gene regulation in eukaryotes adds layers of complexity, like the role played by specific transcription factors, accessibility to DNA condensed in nucleosomes, and the role played by a mediator complex during gene activation.
