Yeast Genetics, post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression
Irie Lab
Laboratory of Molecular Cell Biology
University of Tsukuba
Overview
In the Laboratory of Molecular Cell Biology our major research interests are:
-
Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by RNA-binding proteins
-
Molecular mechanism of mRNA localization and local translation regulating cell polarity, asymmetric cell division, and cell-fate
-
Regulation of myogenic differentiation by RNA-binding protein
-
Regulation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response by protein kinases
In this course you will learn about Yeast Genetics, specifically, the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.
We hope you find this course interesting.
English Task
Please download the PDF document here. Print it out. There are three parts. Please do the first part before watching the video below, the second part is to be done during the video, and the third part after finishing the video and task. In the first part it asks you to write Japanese translations of English words, but if you are not Japanese, please do this in your first language.
Upon completion of the exercise, please scan/photograph your work and email to: mayers@md.tsukuba.ac.jp (Thomas Mayers)
