Epigenetics

课程介绍

英文简介:With the rapid development of life sciences, epigenetics has becoming a frontier research area in the post genome era. This honor course will introduce the basic principles of epigenetics and aim to help students understand how epigenetic mechanisms influence development, environmental responses and diseases. Lecture topics include histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, and small non-coding RNA and gene silencing. Compared to the classical genetics courses, this course focuses on how those discoveries based on genetic finding are actually made and what’s going on the newest progress in the fields of biochemistry and genetics. We welcome any in-depth discussion in and/or after class. For those of you who are interested in an either academic or industrial career in life sciences, this course will exhibit something what you might really want to know.
