Thématique de l'équipe (< 10 lignes) :
Our team of physicists has general interests in theoretical and computational techniques from Statistical Physics as well as data driven approaches to investigate soft and biological matter with the aim to understand the functional and spatial genome regulation. We are working on a multi-scale description of the structure and dynamics of chromosomes incorporating atomistic simulations of DNA, DNA nanomechanics on the rigid base (pair) level, (torque induced) DNA melting, nucleosome and chromatin structure, chromosome folding and topological constraints. We perform statistical analysis of genomic data and modeling of nuclear processes. Our main current interests include the effect of chromatin structure on the eukaryotic DNA replication program and the evolutionary implications of sequence-encoded nucleosome positioning.
Current team members are :
Benjamin Audit, Jérémy Barbier, Pascal Carrivain, Ralf Everaers, Ali Farnudi, Elham Ghobadpour, Hadi Kabalane, Max Kolb, Cédric Vaillant
Techniques utilisées :
- Molecular Dynamics, Monte Carlo, transfer matrices, Multi-scale modeling, coarse-grain polymer models, density-functional theory
