Description
Starting from the same genome, the various cells that make up a multicellular organism will follow different cellular fates in order to acquire distinct cellular functions. In addition to the genome, epigenetic regulations governing the control of genomic expression will be crucial in establishing phenotypes. The objective of this course is to convey the concepts and methodologies used to study the transmission of hereditary information via so-called epigenetic mechanisms.
Objectives
-Knowledge:
Genome composition,
Principles of eukaryotic gene regulation,
Gene networks,
Chromatin effects, epigenetic modifications, epigenome,
Chromosomal dynamics in nuclei, 3D architecture of the genome.
-Expertise:
To have acquired knowledge of all epigenetic methodologies,
Knowing how to interpret gene expression profiles,
Interpret data at the genome, epigenome, and transcriptome levels.
-Interpersonal skills:
Transdisciplinary;
Self-reliant in project design and genetics.
Mandatory Prerequisites
MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY
