Content
Theoretical courses. In eukaryotes and prokaryotes: structure of DNA, chromatin organisation, DNA replication, gene structure, synthesis of RNAs and proteins, post-translational modifications, epigenetic control of gene expression through modification of histones and DNA.
During tutorial classes, an introduction is given to the analysis and use of DNA and RNA sequences and on the use of softwares for such analyses.

Evaluation methods
Written exam comprising multiple choice questions, open-ended questions and/or exercices in which students will be evaluated on their capacity to implement their knowledge.
Results of tests performed during tutorial classes may contribute as a bonus to the final mark if this mark is min 9/20 before bonus addition.
The examination will consist of two parts (molecular biology and epigenetics) each of which will be marked 10 points. If the mark for one of the two parts is equal to or lower than 3.5/10, the exam will be considered as a failure and the global mark will not exceed 9/20, even if the arithmetic sum of the two parts and the bonus reaches 10/20.
