I liked the video above because it describes gene regulation in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The visual displays were highly beneficial to the understanding of the processes he speaks about. I particularly liked that the video references both the lac operon and the trp operon, both of which we discussed in class. The pictures were very clear, and helped me understand the topic better. Both negative and positive controls are discussed, and overall the video is thorough, clear, and concise. At only 10 minutes in length, it is certainly worth watching if anyone is having difficulty understanding some of the more general concepts regarding gene regulation.

If you are having difficulty understanding the trp operon, which is perfectly understandable, click here to access a tutorial on the subject. It includes images, animations, and a quiz at the end to ensure that anyone can benefit from using the tutorial. The animation is step-through as well as narrated, and may help you understand the topic if the book simply is not doing it for you.
