Target Students:

Compulsory for students registered for BSc Genetics, Biochemistry and Genetics. Available to JYA/Erasmus students.

Summary Of Content:

This module aims to describe in some detail the molecular events which occur during the control of gene

expression in bacteria. The material covered will begin with simple control circuits, followed by case studies

which show how complex developmental programmes can occur in response to environmental stimuli. Examples of

gene regulation in pathogenic bacteria are also included.
