Molecular Genetics I — Transcription Factors, Splicing & Epigenetics

Robert SapolskyMacArthur FellowStanford University

Professor of Biology and Neurology

1:33:34·2011·undergraduate level

Dismantles genetic determinism at the molecular level: how 95% non-coding regulatory DNA, alternative splicing, and environmental transcription triggers control gene expression.

Bio & NeuroGenetics & Molecular BiologyBehavioral & Evolutionary BiologyMolecular GeneticsEpigenetics

(April 5, 2010) Robert Sapolsky makes interdisciplinary connections between behavioral biology and molecular genetic influences. He relates protein synthesis and point mutations to microevolutionary change, and discusses conflicting theories of gradualism and punctuated equilibrium and the influence of epigenetics on development theories.
