Molecular Biology: Mechanism of Gene Silencing

About this course

This course explores the intricate mechanisms behind gene silencing, a crucial aspect of molecular biology. You'll learn about the roles of DNA and RNA in gene expression and how gene silencing can influence disease control by temporarily inactivating specific genes. The course covers both transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing, including various techniques used in these processes.
