BIT495/595 Epigene/cs Overview: • This course will integrate the use of standard assays with novel technologies to assess altera5ons in epigene5c markers during cell differen5a5on and stress responses. • Emerging topics in epigene5c research will be discussed. • Students will also gain experience working with mammalian 5ssue culture and a model plant system. Selected Lecture Topics: 1. DNA methyla5on 2. Histone modifica5ons and histone modifying enzymes 3. Polycomb and Trithorax complexes 4. Long-‐range chroma5n interac5ons 5. Noncoding RNA 6. Manipula5ng epigene5cs Labs: 1. 2. Mapping genomewide methyla5on paPerns in Medicago truncatula a. Bisulfite-‐sequencing: Library prepara5on b. Bisulfite-‐sequencing: Data analysis Monitoring changes in histone modifica5ons during differen5a5on by chroma5n immunoprecipita5on 3 weeks 1 week 3 weeks
