Prof Dr Philipp Korber leads a research group on “Nucleosome positioning and remodeling in yeasts” at the BMC of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Talk title: The role of DNA sequence, chromatin remodelers, barriers and their intrinsically disordered regions in nucleosome positioning.
Prof Dr Philipp Korber and his lab in Munich study nucleosome positioning mechanisms using the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe as in vivo and in vitro models. A key approach is the genome-wide chromatin reconstitution system, which enables biochemical characterization of factors involved in nucleosome positioning. This work has identified ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers as major determinants of nucleosome positioning.
