Learning Objectives

  1. An introduction to RNA containing chromatin structures and how
    they are regulated
  2. Evidence for R-loop accumulation as a new molecular feature of
    ADNP syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disorders
  3. Genome organization changes that can occur as a consequence of
    R-loop during normal development and in disease.
