Abstract
Séminaire de la série "Fundamental Questions and Amazing Logic of Molecular Biology" Le 30 juin 2017 à l'Institut Henri Poincaré Orateur: Vincent Colot Titre : Transgenerational Epigenetics: of plants and men. Résumé : Genetics, the science of heredity, tends to be equated nowadays with the study of variations in DNA sequences in relation to heritable differences in phenotypes. However, as I will illustrate, there is increasing evidence that epigenetic processes can and do also contribute to the inheritance of characters. This additional source of variation may explain part of the so-called "missing heritability" that affects most genome-wide association studies. Ce séminaire s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une série de séminaires de biologie moléculaire organisés par l'IHES en collaboration avec l'IHP, destinés à tous scientifiques : mathématiciens, physiciens, biologistes ... permettant une discussion ouverte et interdisciplinaire après chaque présentation. Organisateurs: Misha Gromov, François Képès, Jérémie Kropp Montage/Réalisation vidéo: Jérémie Kropp
