Paul Andersen explains how genes are regulated in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. He begins with a description of the lac and trp operon and how they are used by bacteria in both positive and negative response. He also explains the importance of transcription factors in eukaryotic gene expression.

Things you should make sure you understand:

(feel free to ask questions about them in class)

The major similarities and differences in how eukaryotes regulate their gene expression compared to how prokaryotes regulate their gene expression.
Why eukaryotes have more levels of regulation of their genome than prokaryotes do.
