CETP Colloquium: Histone variants and post-translational modifications

Histone variants and post-translational modifications (led by Dr. Strahl)– Mutations in histone-modifying enzymes and in histones themselves have been identified in a growing range of tumors. Dr. Strahl will cover histone modifications, alternative histones and the means by which they are regulated, and how they regulate various nuclear processes, including transcription and DNA damage repair. He will also discuss the studies that identified histone modifications and eventually recognized their regulatory importance.
