Neurogenetics: Building blocks of a gene

This lecture introduces the concepts of 21st-century neurogenetics, focusing on genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, and their dynamic interplay in bridging basic and clinical research. It explores the impact of environment, nutrition, lifestyle, pathogens, toxins, genetics, mutations, SNPs, histone modifications, DNA methylation, ncRNA, and epigenetics on neurodevelopment and brain function. The lecture delves into DNA and chromosome structure, gene anatomy, and regulatory sequences, emphasizing the role of coding and regulatory elements in gene expression.
