Recent developments in genomic technologies have enabled the genome-wide identification of regulatory elements and chromatin interactions, controlling the spatiotemporal gene expression. In this webinar, we will explore the significant involvement of non-coding genome in various human diseases, a rapidly evolving field of human genomics.

Chaired by Prof. Florence PETIT.
