Bacteria, Gene Expression and Cancer.

We had a busy day in class today. You set up your LB plates for the bacterial growth, sampling from areas all around the Kirby Science Center.

After lab you shared your research on tuberculosis and we evaluated the credibility of your sources.  Following a quick review of gene expression in prokaryotes, we started to learn about gene expression in eukaryotes.

Homework: Read, annotate and answer the questions on pages 3-6 in the epigenetics packet.

Here are the links we looked at in class:
