Lecture, chapter 11 - Gene regulation at the mRNA level

Today we covered chapter 11, on gene regulation at the mRNA level. Regulation mechanisms in the middle ground between transcriptional regulation and translational regulation.

We discussed the control of rate of degradation of mRNA, the effect of translational regulatory proteins (activators and/or repressors), regulation by anti-sense RNA, and regulation by alterations to the ribosome.

Tomorrow we will discuss RNA interference (RNAi)
