week of 1 December update

Hey everyone,
  Here is a link to a video that Mrs. Magnuson shared with her class.  It is a nice overview of epigenetic mechanisms that we started talking about in class today...methylation and acetylation.  There are things I don't love (there's no such thing as a "lip" cell but he's just trying to make it simpler).  It also has WAY more information than you need (ex: you don't need to know that methylation happens on cytosine, you don't need the enzymes that do acetylation).  But...it is a good general overview.

  ALSO...for now...SKIP the microRNA stuff!!!!! PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE YOURSELF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND microRNA.

Enjoy!  Ms. L
