The INDEPTH Academy is a training resource developed by the COST Action 'Impact of Nuclear Domains On Gene Expression and Plant Traits (INDEPTH)'
The INDEPTH Academy will deliver multimedia resources to inform how the spatial organisation of nuclear DNA is critical in the adaptation to environmental stresses.
Many of these resources can be found on the INDEPTH Academy YouTube Channel.
INDEPTH Academy outputs include:
- Short webinar teaching resources that introduce functional domains of the nucleus (such as the nucleolus of nuclear envelope) and explore how chromatin dynamics influence gene expression
- Masterclass tutorials in which technical experts will lead discussion-led sessions on experimental techniques that are important for study of the plant nucleus
- Standardised Protocols that are linked to INDEPTH member research activities
- Expert talks from the 2021 SEB Antwerp Main Meeting Special Session on 'Dynamic organization of the nucleus across kingdoms''.
Upcoming events
The INDEPTH Academy are hosting a section of the '
Dynamic organization of the nucleus across kingdoms' session in the virtual SEB Main Meeting in July 2021.
