| Purpose of the course | |
| Intended learning outcomes | After the completed course, the participants will be able to describe the basic methods and mechanisms underlying epigenetic regulation in non-disease cases and compare and relate these to dysregulation in diseases. The participants will be able to describe and critically evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of the different methods and technologies used in genome-wide epigenomic regulation studies. |
| Contents of the course | Epigenetic regulation in non-disease cases and dysregulation in diseases at individual locus level as well as on genome-wide level including DNA methylation, histone modification, non-coding RNA interaction with DNA and histones. Understanding development and disease principles through epigenetic technologies. |
| Teaching and learning activities | The course consists of lectures, discussion and seminars. |
| Compulsory elements | The discussions and seminars are compulsory. Absence from compulsory parts is compensated according to the instructions from the course leader. |
| Examination | The students will be examined for knowledge and skills, individually based on the active participation in discussions and groupwise with seminar presentations. |
