Description
From the same genome, the different cells that make up a multicellular organism will acquire different cellular destinies in order to acquire distinct cellular functions. In addition to the genome, epigenetic regulations governing the control of genome expression will be crucial in establishing phenotypes. The objective of this course is to teach the concepts and methodologies used to study the transmission of hereditary information via epigenetic mechanisms.
Objectives
-Knowledge:
Genome composition,
Principles of eukaryotic gene regulation,
Gene networks,
Chromatin effects, epigenetic modifications, epigenome,
Chromosome dynamics in nuclei, 3D architecture of the genome.
-Expertise:
To have acquired all methodologies in epigenetics,
Knowing how to interpret gene expression profiles,
Interpret data at the genome, epigenome, and transcriptome levels.
-Interpersonal skills:
Transdisciplinary;
Independent in project design and genetics.
