| Title |
RNA Biology II |
| Description |
This lecture series covers aspects of RNA biology related to various non-coding RNAs as well as their use as drugs to treat diseases. The topics include miRNA & piRNA biogenesis and function, small ncRNAs involved in genome regulation, regulatory roles of long non-coding RNAs and tRNA import. The aim of these lectures is to provide a comprehensive overview of the field of RNA Biology for MSc and PhD students. The NCCR RNA & Disease offers the unique chance to have lectures taught by leading experts in the field from six Swiss research institutions covering a wide range of aspects of RNA biology & RNA therapeutics.
Content:
Micro RNAs; micro RNA function in metabolism; biogenesis and function of piRNAs; long non-coding RNAs; nucleic acid-based drugs; ncRNA-mediated genome regulation; epigenetic programming of genome remodeling in ciliates; telomerase and telomeres; tRNA biology.
NOTE:
The lecture series "RNA Biology II" (fall 2020) and "RNA Biology I" (fall 2021) can be attended in any particular order and do not interdepend on each other.
***Format of the lecture in fall 2020***
Based on the current Covid rules of the University of Bern the lecture series will take place under special circumstances:
• The lecture series is planned as on-site teaching event
• The first on-site lecture will be given on Sept 24th
• registration via the KSL system is obligatory
• to enter and exit the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (DCB) wearing masks is obligatory for everybody
• depending on the number of students attending, it could be possible to keep the minimally required social distance of 1.5 m in the lecture room EG.16. Under these conditions the masks can be removed during the lectures
• if the 1.5 m distance rule cannot be satisfied (this will be the case if more than 35 students attend the lecture), wearing masks during the lecture is obligatory for the students
• Students who decline wearing masks in case this becomes necessary (see above), have to leave the lecture room and the DCB
• Students with possible Covid symptoms (e.g. fever, cough, etc ) are not allowed to attend the lecture. The lecturer has the right and the obligation to remove those students from the lecture room and the DCB.
• Adaptations to these rules are possible during the semester. Thus please always check for updates on ILIAS & KSL!
