Description
This course is a mix of faculty lectures and student discussions of primary research papers. Topics are selected from current primary literature sources on subjects relevant to the focus of the class, and these will include different types of long and short noncoding RNAs (e.g. miRNAs and lincRNAs) and how they contribute to inflammatory responses. Classes will be lead by a small team of faculty. Basic knowledge of noncoding RNAs and mammalian immunity will be assumed.
