Keywords: nucleus, genome, chromatin, epigenetic, 3D organization, transcription, DNA replication, DNA repair
Prerequisites for the course: For each session, the speaker will provide a review to read beforehand, and do a brief introduction at the beginning with what is needed to understand his/her lecture. Hence no prerequisite is required as long as the student is motivated enough by the topic to read the bibliography provided by the speaker before the session.
Course objectives and description:
The course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research on nuclear processes, including gene transcription, silencing, DNA replication and DNA repair, with a focus on chromatin and epigenetic-based regulations and spatial genome organization and their relevance for developmental and environmental responses in diverse eukaryotic organisms (mammals, insects, plants, paramecium, and yeast). The lectures will be given by top researchers in their field, who have shined by their innovative and /or interdisciplinary approaches, such as single cell, state-of-the-art imaging or genomic approaches.
The course will cover a range of themes, including DNA methylation, histone variants and modifications, non-coding RNA, transposable elements biology, meiosis, telomere biology, genome compartmentalization, single molecule analysis, developmental and environmental response.
