Epigenetics and gene editing (WBBY036-05)

complete summary of epigenetics and gene editing, including all the core lectures and guest lectures

The document is a summary of the lecuters of the course epigenetics and gene editing. Only lecture 5 and first half of lecture 6 on developmental epigenetics are missing. The summary is really elaborate and with a lot of pictures

This summary consists of: 1. epigenetic principles underlying gene expression regulation 2. epigenetic inheritance underlying cell type identity 3. differentiation principles, in particular neuronal development 4. genetic and epigenetic editing principles, including CRISPR/Cas platforms 5. critique and debate current trends and challenges in genetic and epigenetic editing principles on an academic level

In this document, you can find a summary for the course Epigenetics and Gene-editing, which is given in the second year of Biology / Life Science and Technology (old curriculum) at the University of Groningen. In this summary, the book Molecular Biology of the Cell is used.
