I'm going to spend today trying to broadcast into the future, forecast into the future I should say, about where all of what we've talked about this semester is taking us.

Lecture 35: Future of Biology

Understanding molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, to help us treat disease. Today my goal is to talk about this with respect to heart disease.

Molecular Evolution; Darwinian Model; Genetic Evidence for Evolution and Evolutionary Trees; Mitochondrial DNA and Y Chromosome; Polymorphisms; Genetics of Small Populations; Human Migration and the Out-of-Africa Theory; Cohen Y Chromosome

Lecture 32: Molecular Evolution

The modern treatment of cancer, and how our understanding of the molecular biology of the disease really helps in developing radically new kinds of therapies.

Lecture 31: Molecular Medicine 1

Today we're going to talk a bit about todipotential stem cells, which are able to disperse descendants into all the different differentiation lineages in the body.

Lecture 19: Cell Cycle/Signaling

Review; Gene Regulation -- Levels; Gene Regulation in Bacteria; Structure of the Lac Operon and Transcriptional Repressor; Experimental Evidence for the Lac Operon; Transcriptional Activator

Lecture 13: Gene Regulation

Protein Localization Overview; Protein Translocation Experiments; Translocation Pathway/Mechanism; Mitochondrial Translocation; Nuclear Translocation; Review

Lecture 14: Protein Localization

Very clear and concise teachers and very easy to follow. As stated before, some of the projector slides aren&#39;t visible, but still easy enough to understand the concept.

Love this course!

I have watched the first  12 lecture and really liking this course!  I took some organic chemistry and one course in genetics in 1972.  Because of this I can follow the course and learn a lot.  There is a problem with the first lectures because you cannot see the slides he is projecting and discussing.  It is still possible to follow the gist.  The genetics lectures are very clear and wonderful.  I only wish I could listen to the audio on my ipod nano, but it will not play without the video.

great review and update
