Within the scope of this course, to learn the properties of nucleic acid molecules that form the basis of genetic information of organisms, to understand the organization and packaging of chromosomes in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, to understand how processes such as DNA replication, transcription and translation, which are essential for reproduction and gene expression, take place in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and to be able to compare them. It is aimed to understand the genetic code and its basics, to understand the regulation mechanisms of gene expression before transcription, initiation of transcription and initiation of translation, to comprehend the regulatory proteins that play a role in the regulation of gene expression and the principles of operation, to understand issues such as cell signaling and embryonic development.

Comparison of gene control levels and post-transcriptional events with cell type-specific gene regulation and their practical use
