Notebook: Zoology 204/Transcp. 290/Biochemistry 294, 1984

Information

Description: This is a notebook within a series regarding Greider's lecture notes. The notebook begins with an essay Grieder wrote for a course, entitled Zoology: Gene Expression in Development, on examples of biological regulation in development. The course instructor was Frederick Wilt. Essentially the essay was a literature review on regulation in different organisms like slime molds. Also contained a bibliographic list for those researchers Greider mentioned or quoted.

The notebook also contained lecture notes on cytological localization and ctenophore development. The notebook described the historical background on cell theory and blastomere. It described genetic relationship between the Hydra genus and the jellyfish, ctenophore blastomere development, and the development of ascidians.

The notebook contained several diagrams of single stranded RNA from different organisms, ranging from humans to E. coli. Along with the RNA diagrams there were also diagrams on enzymatic structure and function and Greider's discussions on DNA replication.

The notebook concluded with lecture notes and experimental note regarding Barbara McClintock’s work on the transposition of genetic elements. However, instead of using maize as McClintock did Greider used a bacterial strain.
