Il giorno 23/4/2019 alle ore 11:00 nella aula 14 - 15 IV piano St. 9 il prof. Maria Barbi (Laboratoire de Physique Theorique de la Matière Condensée, Sorbonne Université 4, Paris) terrà il seminario dal titolo:

Polymers in the cell nucleus

Understanding the genome functional architecture and its dynamics is one of the big challenges of systems biology. The three-dimensional arrangement, in the cell nucleus, of the protein-DNA assembly that constitutes chromosomes is expected to be crucial for the regulation of gene expression, hence cell differentiation and cell type setting. The rapid progress of experimental techniques begins to make it possible to explore these complex structures. I will show how, when used in connection with experimental results, polymer physics represents a powerful tool in deciphering the chromosome arrangement and dynamics.
