Rome, Italy Postdoctoral fellow 2 years N/A 20 May 2018 RM_00067 Job Description The Boulard group at EMBL Rome is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in chromatin biology or biochemistry to lead an exciting interdisciplinary project focused on the molecular basis of epigenetic silencing in mammals.

but this special issue shows that epigenetic studies are very diverse, and not limited to the study of chromatin.

our hypothesis is that this represents a key process impacting cell fate acquisition and maintenance, epigenetic regulation across all forms of chromatin and, finally, the mechanisms of mitosis.

~ Identifying epigenetic mechanisms that regulate DNA replication and DNA amplification.

We are now seeking to recruit a talented and motivated post-doc to expand our work into the epigenetic and epitranscriptomic fields.

http://biogps.org/#goto=genereport&id=4110), mutation of this gene located in Xq28, or changes in its expression induced by epigenetic mechanisms affecting its methylation, could then provide a mechanism explaining the changes in brain androgen sensitivity postulated by Breedlove to occur during early development in gay males.

However, there is strong evidence that methylation of the DNA (epigenetic change) at specific loci may increase the risk of wheeze and asthma [7].

Recent studies indicate a role for specific epigenetic modifications at DSB sites.

Therefore, although genetic variances accounted for the 60 per cent of the risk of developing ASD, their complex behavioural phenotypes are thought to be due to other factors, such as the environmental and the epigenetics factor as a variation risk for these disorders.35 Epigenetic factors Epigenetic factors refer to the heritable changes in gene activity that are not caused by changes in the DNA sequences but rather by one of the following factors:

provide therapeutic breakthroughs Our team has participated in the genomic and functional discoveries of this unique type of neoplasms in which a specific somatic mutation in the histone H3 tail at Lys27 is completely reorganizing the epigenetic landscape of the tumor.

genomic mutations, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunctions, imbalance of protein synthesis and degradation, telomere shortening, accumulation of senescent cells, and altered intercellular communication (see Lo´pez-Otı´n et al., 2013 for review).

One of the epigenetic changes leading to decreased plasticity after the critical period involves the action of HDAC, an enzyme that acts as an epigenetic “brake” on critical-period learning (Morishita and Hensch, 2008;

BIOINFORMATICS APPLICATIONS NOTE Vol. 25 no.

These interactions probably begin in utero and, through regulatory mechanisms conditioned by the environment (‘epigenetic mechanisms’), they may influence the onset, expression and phenotypes of diseases at later ages or even in adulthood [13].

Nutrigenomics mainly aims at studying genetic and epigenetic interactions with a nutrient so as to lead to a phenotype change and therefore to the cell metabolism, differentiation or apoptosis (Fafournoux 2000).
