The course will provide in-depth knowledge of how processes in cells are regulated by RNA and proteins, and how the regulation can be affected both with common genetic methods and through a chemical change of regulatory molecules. The course uses both classical genetic and chemical genetic approaches, as well as genotype-based and phenotype-based genetic methods.
