Chapter 17, Problem 1
In this chapter, we focused on how eukaryotic gene expression is regulated posttranscriptionally. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter:
How do we know that misregulation of mRNA stability and decay is a contributing factor in some cancers?

In this chapter, we focused on how eukaryotic gene expression is regulated posttranscriptionally. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter:
How do we know that alternative splicing enables one gene to encode different isoforms with different functions?
In this chapter, we focused on how eukaryotic gene expression is regulated posttranscriptionally. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter:
How do we know that double-stranded RNA molecules can control gene expression?
Write a short essay describing how an mRNA may be regulated in three different ways by specific cis-elements and RBPs.
List three types of alternative splicing patterns and how they lead to the production of different protein isoforms.
