Masterclass: Nuclear organization in development and disease
By Elzo de Wit (NKI) and Ruud Delwel (ErasmusMC)
The three-dimensional (3D) organization of the genome inside the nucleus plays a crucial role in essential processes such as DNA replication and gene expression. In this masterclass Elzo de Wit and Ruud Delwel have put together a program that reviews contemporary topics in nuclear organization. The speakers will discuss how the 3D genome influences developmental processes and can affect disease progression. There will be a strong focus on genome-wide methods such as (single cell) DamID and Hi-C. In the first part local experts will discuss their experience with these methods and share tips and tricks for data analysis.
In the afternoon, we will have a ‘hands-on’ session, during which the participants will be instructed to analyze Hi-C datasets on their own. Instructors that have developed Hi-C analysis software will be available to answer your questions on an ad hoc basis.
