Dr. Mosnaim and Faculty. The objective of this project is to identify factors essential for pre-mRNA splicing and to characterize these factors taking combined molecular genetic, biochemical and cellular approaches. An emphasis is being placed on identifying trans-acting factors that regulate splicing. A pilot project is being undertaken to determine changes in gene expression affecting long term memory that are thought to lead to drug cravings. This course deals with advanced topics in molecular biology that are of current and fundamental interest.
Emphasis is placed on recently published data and laboratory methods.
