Title: Towards understanding the interplay between RNA and chromatin interactions in leukemia
Abstract:
Leukemias demonstrate aberrant gene expression, with the generation of abnormal long non-coding and coding RNA. Recent findings suggest an interplay between RNA and chromatin interactions – RNA can regulate chromatin interactions and chromatin interactions regulate the genesis of RNA. Here, we try to get better understanding of chromatin interactions from two aspects: 1) through their association with stretched cis-regulatory elements such as super-enhancers and broad H3K4me3 domains that are important in cell identity maintenance; 2) through predicting chromatin interactions from 1-dimentional epigenetic marks and DNA sequences, respectively, and investigate the epigenetic marks and DNA sequence features that are important for accurate prediction. Stretched regulatory elements showed high association with chromatin interactions and can confer higher cell-type specificities of target genes through chromatin interactions. We examined the problems of current state-of-art computational methods for predicting chromatin interactions and demonstrated that chromatin interactions can be accurately predicted from epigenetic marks as well as from pure DNA sequences. In the future, we hope that this work will be useful in building up a better understanding of the interplay between RNA and chromatin interactions.

Scope and Topics
The course is aimed at life scientists who have already produced RNA-seq data, or are planning to perform RNA-seq experiments and want to learn the best practice to analyze these type of data. It will consist of 1 hours of theoretical lessons and 3 hours of practical exercises.
Participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to:

Align RNA-seq data to a reference genome
Estimate known gene and transcript expression
Perform differential expression analysis
Visualize and summarize the output of RNA-seq analyses
