8^th World Congress on Epigenetics and Chromosome July 12-13, 2021 Zurich, Switzerland

Track 1. Epigenetics

Epigenetics is that the study of heritable changes in natural phenomenon (active versus inactive genes) i.e. an adjustment in phenotype without an adjustment in genotype. An epigenetic change is also a natural & characteristic occurrence yet can likewise be plagued by some factors including age, the environment/lifestyle, and illness state. Alternately, epigenetic change can have all the more harmful impacts which will bring illnesses, disease. Major areas of Epigenetics are.

•  Clinical epigenetics

•  Developmental Epigenetics

•  Nutritional Epigenetics

•  Behavioral epigenetics

•  Epigenetics Alteration

•  Neuronal Epigenetics

•  Animal Epigenetics

Track 2. Oncology

Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. A medical professional who practices oncology is an oncologist Cancer survival has improved due to three main components: improved prevention efforts to reduce exposure to risk factors improved screening of several cancer and improvements in treatment.The three main divisions:

• Medical oncology:
• Surgical oncology:
• Radiation oncology

Track 3. Brain Tumor

A brain tumor occurs when abnormal cells form within the brain There are two main types of tumors cancerous (malignant) tumors and benign (non-cancerous) tumors Cancerous tumors can be divided into primary tumors, which start within the brain, and secondary tumors, which most commonly have spread from tumors located outside the brain, known as brain metastasis tumors All types of brain tumors may produce symptoms that vary depending on the part of the brain involvedsThe most common primary brain tumors are

• Gliomas
• Meningiomas
• Pituitary adenomas
• Nerve sheath tumors

Track 4. Bioinformatics and biostatics in epigenetic disease markers and targets

The recent development of high-throughput technologies has led to an explosion of biological data and has enabled mining biomarkers and drug targets in a more systematic way. Bioinformatic and biostatistical approaches are skilled at dealing with large data sets and therefore widely used in mining disease biomarkers and drug targets in this “omic” era.

• Clinical material
• ACPA-positive healthy
• Sampling and DNA extraction
• DNA preparation and CHARM

Track 5. Environmental Epigenetic Factor

By the tip of the last century, it absolutely was known that DNA by itself doesn't determine all characteristics of an organism, including humans. The environment, stress one perceives, and nutrition, to call some, play a big part in determining the response of an organism, the utmost amount because the DNA itself. Thus, it's known now that both nature and nurture play equally important roles within the responses observed both at the cellular and organism levels.

• Nutritional
• Tobacco Smoke
• Physical Activity
• Alcohol
• Pollutans
• Emotional

Track 6. Measurement and mapping of genomic

Gene mapping describes the methods used to identify the locus of a gene and the distances between genes Gene mapping can also describe the distances between different sites within a gene. The essence of all genome mapping is to place a collection of molecular markers onto their respective positions on the genome.

• Genome mapping
• Genetic mapping
• In gene mapping
• Physical mapping

Track 7. Epigenetics Reproductive Health

Ranges of epigenetic idea affect our genetic programme. The inter-generational transmission of epigenetic marks is supposed to manage via four principal means dramatically differ in their information content: DNA methylation, histone modifications, microRNAs and nucleosome positioning.
   • Role in gametogenesis
   • Role in embryogenesis
   • Role in infertility
   • Role in assisted reproductive technology
   • Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance

Track 8. Neuro-oncology: focuses on cancers of brain

Although brain tumours are rare compared with other malignancies, they are responsible, in many cases, for severe physical and cognitive disability and have a high case fatality rate. The diagnosis is made by a combination of imaging and histological examination of tumour specimen. Contrast-enhanced MRI is the gold standard imaging modality and provides highly sensitive anatomical information about the tumour.

• Pilocytic astrocytoma
• Pilomxoid astrocytoma
• Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma
• Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma

 Track 9: Genomes editing

Genome editing is a method that lets scientists change the DNA of many organisms, including plants, bacteria, and animals. Editing DNA can lead to changes in physical traits, like eye color, and disease risk. Scientists use different technologies to do this. The first genome editing technologies were developed in the late 1900s. More recently, a new genome editing tool called CRISPR, invented in 2009,

• Genome engineering
• General principles
• Homology directed
• Non homologous end joining
   

Track 10. RNA transcripts, MicroRNAs, mRNA, and sRNA

A primary transcript is the single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) product synthesized by transcription of DNA, and processed to yield various mature RNA products such as mRNAs, tRNAs, and rRNAs.

• RNA polymerase, together with one or more general transcription factors, binds to promoter DNA.
• RNA polymerase generates a transcription bubbleRNA polymerase adds RNA nucleotides
• RNA sugar-phosphate backbone forms with assistance from RNA polymerase to form an RNA strand.
• Hydrogen bonds of the RNA–DNA helix break, freeing the newly synthesized RNA strand.

Track 11. Structural inheritance

Structural inheritance is an often-neglected form of nongenetic inheritance. This is in contrast to the transmission of digital information such as is found in DNA sequences, which accounts for the vast majority of known genetic variation. Structural inheritance was discovered by Tracy Sonneborn, and other researchers, during his study on protozoa in the late 1930.                                       .

• Multiple Inheritance.
• Multilevel Inheritance.
• Single Inheritance
• Hierarchical Inheritance.
• Hybrid Inheritance.

Track 12. Nucleosome positioning

nucleosome positioning” broadly to indicate where nucleosomes are located with respect to the genomic DNA sequence. Although nucleosome positioning is a dynamic process, sequencing-based mapping approaches identify the positions of individual nucleosomes in a single cell at a specific time.

• Nucleosome positioning is strongly affected byDNA sequence
• Poly tracts are important for nucleosome depletion
• Aspects of positioning not determined by DNA sequence

Track 13 Functions and consequences: development and transgenerational

Since Mendel, studies of phenotypic variation and disease risk have emphasized associations between genotype and phenotype among affected individuals in families and populations. Although this paradigm has led to important insights into the molecular basis for many traits and diseases, most of the genetic variants that control the inheritance of these conditions continue to elude detection.

• Enviromental influences
• Genetic factors
• Gene-environment interactions
• Frequency, magnitude & persistence

Track 14. Epigenetics in bacteria

Track 23. Advances in epigenetic technology

Epigenetics refers to the collective heritable changes in phenotype that arise independent of genotype. Two broad areas of epigenetics are DNA methylation and histone modifications and numerous techniques have been invented to analyze epigenetic processes not only at the level of specific genes, but also to analyze epigenetic changes that occur in defined regions of the genome as well as genome-wide

• DNA methylation
• Histone modifications

Track 24.  Chromatin domains and structure

The primary protein components of chromatin are histones, which bind to DNA and function as "anchors" around which the strands are wound. In general, there are three levels of chromatin organization: DNA wraps around histone proteins, forming nucleosomes and the so-called beads on a string structure (euchromatin).

• Euchromatin
• Heterochromatin

Track 25. Epigenetics and epigenomics

Epigenetics focuses on processes that regulate how and when certain genes are turned on and turned off, while epigenomics pertains to analysis of epigenetic changes across many genes in a cell or entire organism.

• DNA methylation
• Chromatin
• Non-coding RNAs

Track 26. Epigenetics and stem cell reprogramming

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are somatic cells reprogrammed into an embryonic-like pluripotent state by the expression of specific transcription factors. Despite the fact that these cells have the capacity to self-renew, they present low efficiency of reprogramming Recent studies have demonstrated that the previous somatic epigenetic signature is a limiting factor in iPSC performance.

• Somatic cell nuclear transfer
• Programming by cell fusion
