Epigenetic training course: « Initiation to chromatinandmethylated DNA immunoprecipitation»

Chromatin and DNA modifications, i.e. epigenetic modifications, are involved in the control of gene expression. This course provides a theoretical introduction to the field of epigenetics as well as a practical training to learn the main bases of the methods for studying these epigenetic modifications.

Dates : Lieu : Campus Pierre et Marie Curie – Paris (Jussieu) Tarif : 2185 €
Modalité : Présentiel

GOALS

  • Acquire the theoretical and practical bases necessary to analyse chromatin, chromatinian proteins and DNA methylation using chromatin immuno-precipitation (ChIP) and DNA methylation (MeDIP).

PUBLIC AND PRE-REQUISITE

Public :Technicians, engineers, researchers, teachers-researchers, doctoral students.

Pre-requisite: Basic knowledges in molecular biology, bachelor level.
