nucleus. Although the molecular mechanisms at work in the nucleus are alluded to throughout the course, the emphasis is clearly placed on the cell biological aspects of this key organelle. These aspects are illustrated with recent experimental results taken from the literature, in particular those obtained through observation of single living cells. Broad explanatory concepts are preferred over the description of molecular details. The goal of the course is to present the cell nucleus as a dynamic biological system that is responsible for the expression, the repair and the replication of the genetic information. The integration of these functions within the global cellular context will also be presented. |

At the end of the course, an oral exam will take place, during which 2-3 topics that have been covered during the course will be discussed for a total of 20-30 minutes. Students can choose the language (English or Czech) in which they will pass the oral exam. |
