课程简介

Each mammalian cell has the same genes, yet performs distinct functions. This is achieved by epigenetic control of gene expression; the switching on and switching off of genes. This course will cover the principles of epigenetic control of gene expression, how epigenetic control contributes to cellular differentiation and development, and how it goes wrong in disease.

课程大纲

Introduction to epigenetics

Epigenetic modifications and their function in regulating gene expression and chromosome structure

DNA methylation, covalent histone modifications, histone variants, chromatin structure, noncoding RNAs and 3D organisation of the nucleus

Epigenetic phenomena in lower organisms

Position effect variegation, dosage compensation, paramutation

Mammalian epigenetics

Epigenetic reprogramming, genomic imprinting, X inactivation

Epigenetic deregulation in disease

Rett syndrome, ICF syndrome, Imprinting disorders, cancer

Epigenetics and the environment (diet, maternal environment, maternal care)

The Agouti viable yellow allele in mice, maternal care in rats, Dutch famine in humans
