    Lesson 1. The molecular composition of chromatin: histone and non histone proteins. The nucleosome and the logical of chromatin folding. Nucleosome sliding and histone chaperons. The position variegation effect of drosophila is at the bases of the discovery of epigenetics and of the screening of genes responsible for histone modifications. Histone modification readers and writers. Insulators. The heterochromatin spreading. Pionier trascription factors and the first positioning of chromatin ,,,

    Lesson 8. Chromatin reorganization at the nuclear lamina orchestrates developmental gene regulation. A basal chromosome architecture present in embryonic stem cells is cumulatively altered at hundreds of sites during lineage commitment and subsequent terminal differentiation. Chromatin remodeling involves both individual transcription units and multigene regions and affects many genes that determine cellular identity. Lamina- genome interactions are widely involved in the control of gene express..

    Lesson 9. The location of chromosomes from and to the nucleus: a way to control tissue-specific gene expression. NE transmembrane proteins (NETs), are mostly tissue-specific proteins that stabilized by its own structural protein network the nuclear lamina. Expression of distinct NETs increase the incidence of the lacO array at the nuclear periphery with high statistical significance. Tissue- restricted NETs play a pivotal role in dissecting the functional relevance of tissue-specific patterns of ...
