Phd Position to Study Transcription Cluster

vor 4 Monaten

Lausanne, Schweiz Université de Lausanne Vollzeit

**Introduction**:
UNIL is a leading international teaching and research institution, with over 5,000 employees and 17,000 students split between its Dorigny campus, CHUV and Epalinges. As an employer, UNIL encourages excellence, individual recognition and responsibility.

**Presentation**:
**The project**:
There is accumulating evidence for a new gene expression paradigm, in which genes and transcription factors cooperate to create specialized transcription bodies. While these bodies have gained a lot of interest in recent years, they are generally hard to study because they are small, abundant, and short-lived. A few years ago, we discovered that in zebrafish embryos, transcription begins in two transcription bodies that are large, isolated, and long-lived (Hilbert et al., 2021). These provide us with an excellent system to investigate how transcription bodies form (Kuznetsova et al., 2023; Chabot et al., 2024) and what their role is in transcription regulation (Ugolini et al., 2024). The aim of this project is to understand the organization in time and space of transcription bodies using advanced microscopy (single molecule tracking, confocal imaging and spectroscopy, spinning disk) and data analysis methods to look at proteins, RNA and specific genes. As form often informs function, we expect that this will clarify how transcription bodies work and how their dynamics can affect transcription.
