Course Content
|
This course explores the roles, mechanisms, and biogenesis of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in cellular processes. Topics include the classification of ncRNAs, their functions in gene regulation, their involvement in disease, and emerging therapeutic approaches targeting ncRNAs. Through critical analysis of recent literature and practical bioinformatics tools, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of this rapidly evolving field.

|
Course Methods and Techniques
|
The course will be delivered through instructor-led theoretical lectures. Weekly topics will be supported by current scientific literature, with emphasis on discussing key studies and findings. To enhance student engagement, interactive methods such as Q&A sessions and open discussions will be employed. Students will be expected to conduct individual readings and analyze scientific articles related to noncoding RNAs.
