The NON-CODING GENOME course will explore the versatility of non-genic DNA elements and non-coding RNAs across a spectrum of cellular processes, in humans and model organisms, and their implication in physiology and disease. Internationally recognized experts will present their latest findings related to the identification and functional characterization of the noncoding genome and discuss novel concepts in genome regulation and evolution, with a strong emphasis on experimental and computational tools. Thematic sessions will include long and small non-coding RNAs, transposable elements, structural DNA repeats and non-coding regulatory elements. This course will offer to young students and research fellows the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and discuss their work with an international scientific community in a warm and stimulating environment at Institut Curie in Paris.
The participants of the course will have an opportunity to:
1) Tutorial: “How to give a scientific presentation”
2) Round table and workshop “Career development in academia and beyond”
1) Journal clubs
Participants will present one of the latest research articles in the field of Non-coding genome.
2) Poster sessions
Participants will present and discuss their current research projects during two poster sessions (poster format A0, 84,1 x 118,9 cm).
3) Elevator pitch: 90 sec. presentation
