• non-coding RNA & Epigenetics

    25 heures / 3 ECTS

    This course will cover the principles of epigenetic control of gene expression and 3D chromatin structure across various model organisms.

    Many biological processes involve epigenetic mechanisms: transcriptional regulation (i.e. histone code, DNA methylation ...), splicing, genome integrity and maintenance, genomic imprinting, X chromosome inactivation, stem cells pluripotency....

    Lectures led by experts in the field, this teaching unit will deepen epigenetic concepts acquired in Master 1, particularly those involving non-coding RNAs in the mechanisms of epigenetic regulations, human diseases (cancer, metabolic and neurological diseases ...) and development. The role of these mechanisms in adaptation and evolution of populations and species to their (s) environment (s) via the trans-generational inheritance of epigenetic information, will also be addressed.
