Wed Nov 12

• RNA Processing: This page gives an overview about RNA processing including how capping, polyadenylatio n and splicing occurs in order to obtain mature RNA molecules ready for translation. This was covered in the Biological Molecules Lectures by Dr. Harrison and in the worksessions.

Mon Nov 10

• Transcription of DNA to Messenger RNA: this page is relevent for my biological molecules modules. The page shows and describes how DNA is sliced forming mRNA. There is a detailed account of how introns are removed from the RNA strand forming mRNA with purely exons (ie, the gene required)

Sat Nov 8

• 'Junk' DNA proves functional: We had learn in BS 1001 that only exons are used to code for protein, these junk DNA once thought of no use at all, but now it is discover and known that they serve a purpose in organisms.

Mon Nov 3

• Gene Regulation in Eukaryotes: This page is relevelantto my biological molecules module as it details the use of transcription factors and promoters when regulating genes in eukaryotic cells

Tue Oct 7

• A short introduction to the Human Genome
