Description
Completion of the Human Genome Project has generated unprecedented data that has unfolded immense challenges and opportunities. In this course, we shall focus on the understanding of the basic mechanisms of gene regulation that is independent of the nucleotides in the DNA sequence and genetic inheritance but rather is modulated by the nuclear architecture and chromatin environment. The post-translational modifications that are imprinted on chromatin play a pivotal role in dynamically regulating the environment of the nucleus, which attribute to controlling cellular processes during normal and disease conditions.
