The Central Dogma: Mechanisms and Regula · Biological Sciences
This was a recap of all your basic biology, formatted in a very disorganized fashion
We learned about the fundamental concepts as well as some current topics related to central dogma
Learned experimental methods for tracking translation
Translational regulation and the ongoing debate around it
Basic knowledge and more recent research in DNA replication, epigenomics, RNA transcription and protein synthesis
Marko's course was very well organized and the expectations were clear at the onset of his portion of the class. I thoroughly enjoyed his section.
Background of techniques used to study the central dogma, history of understanding the central dogma, exercises in experimental design.
It would be a great class for someone with an interest in how ribosomes functions, and how their dysregulation can lead to disease. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2024 Course: BIOLGR6007_001_2024_3-TheCentralDogma:MechanismsandRegula : BIOLGR6007_001_2024_3 - The Central Dogma: Mechanisms and Regula Instructor: Ron Prywes
This course provided a broad overview of the central dogma with in-depth discussion of select research (chosen by the various lecturers). It was helpful to refresh my knowledge of molecular biology and become more fluent in modern molecular techniques. This class was also unexpectedly very writing-intensive, which was a good source of practice.
It's a pretty easy course and most of the information is not new, so if you want just some basic foundations, then this works, but if you're looking for something where you actually take away knowledge and skills this isn't the course for you.
