He is fantastic at teaching and has great enthusiasm! He has the ability to take complicated pieces of information in science and make it comprehensible to anyone!
Sir Eric Lander is what's called the REAL PROFESSOR... It seem that teaching is his passion and he is enjoying teaching... Many of the other professors seem to be teaching just to earn their bread and butter... hats off sir...
This is top notch, my professor goes from one point to another of the process and then back at the previous point and i get lost, but this is so helpful thank you
Good explanations and easy to follow. I'm in NC and this really helps. My professor is awesome but it helps to see other sides of the process to fully understand everything so thanks for posting this. Where is this class?
I am a CMB (cellular and molecule biology) student in UAE university and I would thanks you for this class I wish I can attend one of your class in future ... Thank you
Thank you for these excerpts! I am in GA and, like GGBundy below, like to see how other professors explain things. Some use better analogies in their descriptions and it brings it all together for me.
RNAP starts transcription at the promoter and continues to add ribose containing nucleotides to the RNA strand until it reaches the "stop" sequence in the gene. If you look at it from the DNA strand, yes it's going 3' to 5' but we describe this enzyme's activity as 5' to 3' since it always adds the nucleotides to the 3' end of the strand (so it's making it 5' to 3'). This means that once the RNAP is finished transcribing, it will be at the 3' end of the RNA strand.
waw itsobiautiful explication what is gooood teacher i want come to teach me am very happy our explication am from in comorosisland am study the biology thanks you doctor am very gooood understood byby
The following textbook was used when this course was taught on the MIT campus: Campbell, N. A., J.B. Reece, et al. Biology. 8th ed. Pearson Benjamin Cummings, 2008. ISBN: 9780805368444. For more info visit the course on MIT OpenCourseWare at: ocw.mit.edu/7-01SCF11. Best wishes on your studies!
We don't have teachers like him here in Mexico... We have 'autolearning'... I have to listen to my colleges give a lecture, without any or little intervention from 'the teacher'... Lame... :(
I beg to differ, there are actually three differences between RNA and DNA - deoxyribose vs ribose - thymine vs uracil - No Double Helix, only single strand of RNA while there are two in DNA
Most high schools in the US will cover this in 9th grade and then students pay to do it again in Uni because not all high schools are created equal. Therefore to make sure, as a biology student, you've covered this, they cover this Freshman year in University.
I go to private school and learned this as a 7 yr old. Now I am 9 and applying to graduate schools. Hopefully we go to the same university and I can feed you a piece of humble pie :)
