The human genome comprises over 20.000 genes that bring about life and sustain it over decades. However, genes are silent and must be given voice through a fundamental biological process called gene expression. The first step in gene expression is transcription, in which genetic information encoded in DNA is copied into RNA. The lecture explores the molecular mechanisms of transcription and its regulation to explain how genes are switched on during embryonic development, for cellular function, and in human health and disease.
