Course Contents
Lecture:
The lecture is based on research publications on cell biology of the epigenome. In particular, the following topics are presented and discussed: nucleus structure and function; replication of the (epi)genome; reprogramming and (trans)differentiation, epigenetics and chromatin, (epi)genetic engineering. These are completed by (audio-visual) tutorials on methods in molecular cell biology and epigenetics as well as computational analysis tools.
