0:35 Defining the epigenetic memory of gene expression
2:37 Chromatin and histones
7:12 Histone modifications
7:59 Histone acetylation and reading by bromodomain proteins
12:02 Histone methylation and reading by chromodomain proteins
19:17 The complex language of histone modifications
21:53 How a core set of marks help define chromatin states

Fabulous! I haven't paid attention to epigenetic advancements in a decade or more, and am amazed at how much more has been discovered. The complexity blows me away!!

[@aidaririvera8783]

I must complement you because you were much, much thorough in explaining a wider array of terms and processes than other Epigenetic tutorials do not cover. Congratulations for being so illuminating in such a vast and complicated discipline!

[@GenomicsGurus]

Thanks for your kind feedback Aidari. Best wishes for your ongoing studies!

[@hamidkiangaikani]

Dr Adam West. I'll remember this name. It is an amazing video. I just needed to get a little familiar with modification marks and I learned much more than I needed. Great Job and thanks

[@pmathew63]

Lucid and beautifully structured. As a neophyte I felt I learned a substantial amount of basic knowledge in a short time.

[@GenomicsGurus]

Thanks for your feedback. Glad it has helped you move forward

[@user-sh2ct4sk2o]

Thanks! Beatifull lecture. Really sad that you stopped making videos

[@farzanehrezazadehshojaee7526]

Such a great video. Thank you so much.

[@leonardoblankenburg5425]

A marvellous class! The practice part was absolutely necessary for understanding this complex and dense theme.

[@GenomicsGurus]

Glad you found it helpful Leonardo!

[@StevenMGruber]

Great visualizations, thanks!

[@RockerProf]

This is an amazing video. Thank you for making it.

[@So1asola]

thank you. great lecture and you made it very easy to understand

[@bighistorysclh8456]

For those of us with only one college course in organic chemistry this is by far the easiest to understand description of the incredibly complex process of histone modification. What I would really like to understand better is how and when are the enzymes which drive the histone modification created during embryo development and later during a typical sleep wake cycle when different proteins are made depending on the time of day.

[@GenomicsGurus]

Thanks David. These are good questions and are an active area of research in the field!

[@anitataksas9536]

This was such a helpful video! Thank you! I would love to see a similar one about the Polycomb group and maybe a review on the techniques for epigenome analysis!

[@GenomicsGurus]

Glad you found it helpful Anita. Good suggestions

Greetings from Bulgaria

[@vasilisazhukova]

Great video. Thanks a lot!

[@GenomicsGurus]

Glad it helped!

[@rafaelsolerortuno6159]

Thanks! Very informative :D I would love an ChIP-Seq/ATAC-Seq vídeo :D

[@GenomicsGurus]

Good idea! Are you more interested in what these techniques are and interpreting figures using them? or do you want advice on carrying them out and doing the bioinformatic analysis?

[@rafaelsolerortuno6159]

@@GenomicsGurus actually both of them are great ideas!! 🥰
