Multiple Roles of RNAs 2011-2012


  Directors :


Dr Micheline Fromont-Racine

Macromolecular Interaction Unit, Institut Pasteur


Dr Marie-Christine Maurel,

Université P. et M. Curie



 

This course will be taught in French. However, the protocols book will be written in English
and some presentations will be in English.

This course is devoted to the exploration of the various roles that RNAs molecules are able to play into the gene expression and to the analysis of their regulations.
Several lecture courses will be focused on the multiple roles of RNAs.
Practical course will consist of purification of ribonucleoproteic complexes; extraction of associated RNAs; hybridization onto micro arrays; analysis of data after scanning; validation of the results by classical approaches such as qRT-PCR and Northern blot. These studies are performed using Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
