Animal Epigenetics

The subject matter for the Epigenetics Workshop includes classic epigenetics topics such as DNA and chromatin modifications, chromosomal imprinting, parent-of–origin or allele-specific genetic effects as well as more broadly defined topics including genetic regulation, reprogramming and non-coding RNA (large and small).

There are workshop presentation slots available.  Those interested in giving a talk, should contact Chris Bidwell (cbidwell@purdue.edu) with a topic/title by October 31, 2011.  Post-doctoral associates and graduate students are encouraged to submit a title. The workshop speakers need to be identified prior to registration and abstract submission (deadline is November 11, 2011).  There is the possibility of a $100 discount on the full registration fee.
