Today we covered chapter 11, on gene regulation at the RNA level.
We discussed mechanisms of gene regulation between transcription and translation:
- Rate of degradation of mRNA
- Modification of mRNA
- Control of translation by RNA binding proteins
- Anti-sense RNA
- Ribosome alteration (preferential translation of mRNAs)
- RNA interference (RNAi)
- Micro RNA (miRNA)
- Riboswitches
