Invited by the Palancade Lab, Alain Nicolas (Institute for Research on Cancer and Aging, Nice, France) will present an IJM seminar on the theme:
Mutators and mutational landscapes: from yeast to cancers
Abstract:
Genome sequencing in model organisms and tumors allowed the extraction of mutational landscapes. Our study of numerous S. cerevisiae mutator strains revealed the diversity,…
On November 17, 2023, the Conférence Monod-Diderot will welcome Julian E. Sale (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Francis Crick Avenue, Cambridge) who will speak on the theme:
Genomic determinants of mutation and epimutation
Abstract:
"The ability of certain DNA sequences to form secondary structures means that DNA itself can pose one of the most potent barriers to…
Invited by the Collignon Lab, Josh Brickman (reNEW, Université de Copenhague) will present an IJM seminar on the theme:
The way we were - transcriptional foundations of plasticity in regulative development and differentiation
Résumé :
Plasticity in differentiation is the basis for the remarkable regulative properties of the early mammalian embryo and could underlie regeneration more broadly.…
Invited by the Greenberg Lab, Yoichi Shinkai (Chief Scientist at the Cellular Memory Laboratory, Riken, Japan) will give an IJM seminar on the theme:
Biology of Histidine Methylation
Abstract:
We have been using a synthetic cofactor analog of SAM, ProSeAM to analyze novel substrates of lysine methyltransferases and their biological functions. Recently, we have been using the…
Invited by the Palancade Lab, Ben Montpetit (University of Californie, Davis, USA) will present an IJM seminar on the theme:
RNA-binding protein (RBP) recruitment, occupancy, and stoichiometry in nuclear mRNA-protein complexes.
Abstract:
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) interact with mRNA and associated factors to form supramolecular complexes called messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles. These dynamic assemblies change to direct and…
Invited by the Wassmann Lab, Joao Matos (Max Perutz Labs, University of Vienna) will present an IJM seminar on the theme:
Building, maintaining and discarding large macromolecular assemblies during gametogenesis
The life cycle of sexually reproducing eukaryotes depends on two specialized chromosome segregation programs: mitosis and meiosis. Whereas mitosis drives cellular proliferation and the stable propagation…
