Q&A Session of Coffee Break with TRANSFAC

DNA methylation signatures of diseases

Q&A: Coffee break with TRANSFAC

In this webinar Prof. Dr. Alexander Kel, the CEO and CSO of geneXplain GmbH, will address the exciting topic of DNA methylation changes observed in various pathologies with a focus on DNAm signatures of Kabuki syndrome and CHARGE syndrome – two rare genetic diseases belonging to the family of chromatinopathies. The following main questions will be in the focus of this seminar:

  • DNA methylation: why is it important and how to track its changes
  • Identification of disease DNAm signature
  • Search for prospective drug targets and treatments on the basis of DNAm data analysis
  • DNAm signatures of CHARGE and Kabuki syndromes on the basis of GSE97362 dataset analysis
  • Identification of shared DNAm changes between different pathologies

Testimonials

GeneXplain’s databases and software tools are very helpful for our research. The training program is absolutely amazing. It clearly shows to my students how to maximize results of analysis of our omics data! They can learn all the steps of the analysis  – from raw data preprocessing to unraveling the hidden molecular mechanisms behind the pathology we’re studying
