报告摘要：

The epigenetic system helps to fulfil two basic challenges of multicellular organisms: proliferation and differentiation. Epigenetic plasticity allows cells to differentiate, whereas epigenetic inheritance and maintenance help to maintain cell fate in proliferating cells and postmitotic cells. Interestingly, epigenetic mechanism not only regulate gene expression at the current stage, but also regulates gene induction kinetics in the future, via different mechanisms in different biological processes. In this talk, I will highlight our recent discoveries regarding how epigenetic mechanisms regulate the kinetics of future gene induction in biological processes such as memory and reining.

嘉宾简介：

朱冰，中国科学院生物物理所，研究员。朱冰课题组关注于研究表观遗传机制怎样帮助细胞记住过去，又怎样为将来做好准备。朱冰组系统性研究了组蛋白、组蛋白修饰、DNA甲基化等表观遗传信息如何从亲代细胞传递到子代细胞，从而帮助细胞在增殖过程中记住过去，实现细胞命运的维持。朱冰组还发现了表观遗传因子调控细胞在未来阶段基因表达的多种机制。朱冰为美国霍华德-休斯医学院首届国际青年科学家奖得主，入选首期新基石研究员项目。应邀担任Science等杂志编委。
