一、課程說明(Course Description)

This course is designed for PhD students who are major in molecular biology
related field. Instructors will assume that students have taken undergraduate
level molecular biology (LS4401, LS4402 or equivalent), cell biology (LS2201,
LS2202 or equivalent) and biochemistry (LS3301, LS3302 or equivalent) courses.

The lectures are planned as intensive reviews of current molecular
biology on the following topics (1) Plant genome and gene regulation, (2)
MicroRNA, RNA interferance and RNA editting, (3) Intromembrane protease (4) Receptor-mediated endocytosis and GPCR signal, (5) Cell cycle control,
(6) p53 signaling pathway, (7) Biological regulatory networks and (8) Antigen processing machinery.

There will be no text books for this course. Instead, assigned review articles
will be distributed to students before each class.


二、指定用書(Text Books)

N/A


三、參考書籍(References)

Additional references and reading assignments will be given in each lecture.



四、教學方式(Teaching Method)

The classes contain mainly lectures. Students are encouraged to discuss with
the lecturers about content and questions.
