DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Alberto Raiola\n\nChromatin\, the complex of DNA and
  proteins that makes our chromosomes\, is not folded randomly inside the 
 nucleus. Its three-dimensional organization changes between cell types an
 d is closely linked to which genes are switched on or off. Chemical marks
  along the chain\, known as epigenetic marks\, help set this organization
 \, and they can be mantained and passed on through cell divisions\, actin
 g as a form of cellular memory.\nIn this talk I will first give a brief in
 troduction to chromatin biophysics. I will then introduce magnetic polymer
 s\, simple models in which each monomer carries a spin that interacts with
  its neighbors in space. Finally\, I will present my work on magnetic poly
 mer models as a framework for studying how epigenetic memory and chromatin
  structure arise and shape each other.\n\nhttps://indico.dfa.unipd.it/even
