We will discuss five articles this semester. These articles address current topics in the field of Epigenetics and focus on four main themes such as 1) Epigenetics of stress, 2) epigenetics of neurodegeneration, 3) epigenetics of mental health and 4) epigenetics of cancer. We will spend time explaining the main physiological concepts and the experimental approaches used in investigating the role of epigenetic mechanisms in human health and diseases. Students are expected to read the assigned articles before coming to class and actively participate in discussions. You will not receive credit for any missed discussion session. You are also required to submit on Blackboard by the due date a copy of each paper summary. Your summary should focus on main points of the assigned article and should be 800 – 1000 words. You will then receive feedback from your instructor on how to improve the structure of your summary writing. You are required to resend a revised final version of your summary by the due date to receive credit. Refer to the “Summary Rubric” that I posted on Blackboard under “Assignments” to understand how you will be assessed and graded.
