Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

To provide an introduction into basic epigenetic mechanisms and illustrate the role of chromatin for regulating different physiological and developmental processes as well as its involvement in disease.1. IntroductionHistory of Epigenetics 2. Basic epigenetic mechanismsDNA methylationChromatin modificationsNon-coding RNARNA methylationEpitranscriptomics3. Epigenetic PhenomenaImprintingX-Chromosome inactivationPosition effect variegation/Drosophila Epigenetics 4. Techniques to study the epigenome5. Epigenetic signatures in development and differentiationReprogramming of the epigenome during germ cell formation and after fertilizationThe concept of cellular memory (Polycomb- Trithorax)6.Influence of the Environment / Epigenetic alterations in diseaseCancer epigenetics, Clinical implications Imprinting defectsComplex diseaseMouse models to study epigenetics7.Selfish genetic elements and the origin of epigenetic mechanisms8. Epigenetics in host-microbe interactions.
