Moscow Conference on Computational Molecular Biology (MCCMB)

Laboratory staff - conference participants

From 27 to 30 July 2019, Moscow State University hosted the Moscow Conference on Computational Molecular Biology.

4 research trainees presented poster reports:

• Patterns of associations of G-quadruplexes and histonemodifications in human stem cells and brain tissue (Arina Nostaeva).
• The relationship between DNA secondary structures, epigenetic markers, transcription factors and structuralsomatic mutations in cancer genomes (Anna Kurilovich).
• Identification of species-specific DNA-regulatory elements inbrain (Abusaid Shaimardanov).
• Leading researcher of the laboratory Dmitry Svetlichny made a poster presentation "Evolutionary analysis of cis-regulatory elements in the centralnervous system of primates".

Also, poster presentations were made by students who work under the guidance of the laboratory staff:

Dmitry Konovalov ("Role of guanine quadruplexes CpG methylation in epigeneticregulation").

Daria Afentieva ("Joint mechanical, thermodynamic and electrostatic machine learning model for prediction of nucleosome positions").

Olga Bochkareva ("Evolution of multi-chromosomal bacteria Vibrio spp").

Lev Mazaev ("Possible role of upstream open reading frames in NMDdependentdegradation of human mRNAs").
