NS 6080
Epigenetics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

Epigenetic effects refer to reversible alterations in chromatin structure that can stably and heritably influence gene expression. Changes include covalent modifications to DNA itself or to proteins bound to DNA as well as noncovalent remodeling of chromatin. Course examines selected epigenetic phenomena described in several eukaryotes, mechanisms regulating these effects, and their phenotypic consequences when normal regulation is lost. Reading materials are from current literature, and participation in class discussion is required.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: BIOMG 3300, or BIOMG 3320, or BIOMG 3330 or NS 3200.

Outcomes
  • Students will gain an understanding of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms and their impact on phenotypes.
  • Students will be able to design strategies to address practical problems in experimental epigenetics.
