Lecture: Genomic Dark Matter: The Emergence of Small RNAs

Description

Lecture Description

Eric J. Devor, Senior Research Scientist of Molecular Genetics and Bioinformatics at Integrated DNA Technologies, talks about the discovery and characteristics of microRNA.

Course Description

Astrobiology is a new meta-discipline which combines astronomy, biology, chemistry, philosophy, and physics in an effort to study the current state of life in the universe.

In the Stanford Astrobiology Course, lectures follow a, more or less, linear path from the Big Bang all the way to the development of complex life and, finally, space exploration. The course explains how evolutionary principles have operated at the macro, and micro, level ever since the birth of the universe we reside in today.
