Description

From the same genome, the different cells making up a multicellular organism will acquire diverse cell fates 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 aim of this course is to convey the concepts and methodologies needed to study the transmission of hereditary information via so-called epigenetic mechanisms.
