BIOGRAPHY
Thursday, January 26 | Emerging evidence suggests that non-coding RNAs can interact with epigenetic modifiers to both recruit and suppress epigenetic mechanisms, and that this functions can be regulated by activity states of neurons. Register today to join Dr Day as he highlights his recent work exploring how non-coding RNA species regulate DNA methylation in neuronal systems, including interactions between non-coding RNAs and DNA methyltransferases and genome-wide characterization of non-coding RNAs that arise from protein-coding genes , and reviews the functional modulation of non-coding RNAs in memory formation and behavior.
