Detailed information about the course
| Title | CUSO Biology Symposium 2022 II: «Bioinformatics» (SIB) |
| Dates | 30 June - 1 July 2022 |
| Organizer(s) | Dr. Grégoire Rossier, SIB |
| Speakers | Laurent Falquet |
| Description | A 2-day workshop will follow the CUSO Biology Symposium on epigenomics. It will be a bioinformatics training on epigenomics data, DNA methylation, histone modification and chromatine re-arrangement. In this workshop we will try to have continuity with the symposium, on a more applied and bioinformatics side. Day 1: General introduction to the data for epigenomics. DNA Methylation: ½ for prok and ½ for Euka DNA methylation (bisulfite) Day 2: Histone modification and chromatine re-arrangement (mainly eukaryotes) (½ day) questions, participants projects, (½ day)
Please note that registration to the two parts of the Symposium has to be done separately: For the first part: CUSO Biology Symposium 2022 I 'Advances in Epigenetics and Epigenomics' For the second part: CUSO Biology Symposium 2022 II: 'Bioinformatics' (SIB)

| Program | OVERVIEW Epigenetics modifications are important modifications of the DNA or the chromatin that affect the bacteria and higher eukaryotes. These modifications can be transmitted from generation to generation, carrying information affecting the gene expression in the off-springs. Current next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies allow for the detection of those modifications at the genome level introducing the «epigenomics». In this workshop we will explore the bioinformatics methods available for studying these data. Since these can be divided in two main categories, DNA methylation on the one hand and chromatin modifications on the other hand, the workshop will reflect this with a first day dedicated to DNA methylation analysis both in prokaryotes and in eukaryotes. The second day will focus on the chromatin modifications (histones and other proteins) in normal and cancerous tissues.
This workshop is coupled with the symposium Advances in Epigenetics and Epigenomics that is going to take place the first 3 days of this week (27-29 June 2022). Please note that although at the same location, these are two independent events, with separate registrations.
AUDIENCE This course is addressed to life scientists who want to learn analysis related to epigenetics modifications.
LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
