Epigenetics, coding and non-coding RNAs: Challenging NGS data
Dal 25/06/2014 ore 09.00 al 27/06/2014 ore 18.00
Boscolo Hotel, Lungomare Nazario Sauro, 7, 70121 Bari
It is widely accepted that non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), as opposed to protein-coding RNAs, represent the majority of transcripts; and the regulatory function of many of these ncRNAs has been studied over the past decade. ncRNA not only regulate transcription level but one other important role for ncRNAs is their participation in the epigenetic gene regulation. Indeed, increasing evidence show that most epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression are controlled by ncRNAs. Deep sequencing technologies accelerated the research in these fields by dramatically increasing pace and depth of discoveries.
This workshop will give insights on all these aspects of the modern research on the RNAs world – and will highlight known and possible connections among ncRNAs.
Oral presentations will be selected according to the quality of the submitted abstracts and AllBio and SeqAhead projects will offer travel grants to young researchers presenting their work.
On June 27 a Tutorial Day will be held including hand-on sessions which will get you in touch with data and tools to cope with the enormous data sets from NGS approaches in these fields.
The deadline for abstrat submission is June 18th, the deadline for registration is June 23th.
