Invited by the Palancade lab, Alexander Palazzo (Biochemistry Department, University of Toronto / Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire des Science Numérique, Université Paris-Saclay) will présent an IJM seminar on the theme: How mRNA nuclear export allows you to live with a genome filled with junk DNA   Abstract: In eukaryotes, the division of the cellular space into nucleoplasm and cytoplasm promotes…

Invited by the Palancade, Mounia Lagha (Institut de Génétique Moléculaire de Montpellier) will present the IJm seminar: Lighting up the central dogma to dissect how sharp developmental patterns are established   "A fundamental question in biology is how cellular processes are so reproducible despite the inherent variations in the chemical reactions governing them. During development of a…

Invited by par l'équipe Grange/Geigl, Catherine André (Institut de Génétique et développement de Rennes) will present the IJM seminar: Spontaneous models of genetic diseases & cancers in dog breeds: interest to decipher the genetics of rare diseases   Dogs develop numerous genetic diseases, often breed-specific, due to the strong artificial selection applied by humans, likely for more…

Invited by the Collignon, Antonio Scialdone (Institute of Epigenetics and Stem Cells, Helmholtz Munich), will present an IJM seminar on the theme: Making heads or tails of mouse embryonic development using single-cell transcriptomics and physical modeling   "Before the body plan can be laid down, a “coordinate system" must be established to distinguish the anterior from the…
