INDEPTH Academy

The INDEPTH Academy is a training facility developed by INDEPTH to deliver multimedia resources to inform how the spatial organisation of nuclear DNA is critical in the adaptation to environmental stresses.

Many of these resources can be found on the INDEPTH Academy YouTube Channel.

INDEPTH Academy outputs include:

– Short webinar teaching resources that introduce functional domains of the nucleus (such as the nucleolus of nuclear envelope) and explore how chromatin dynamics influence gene expression

– Masterclass tutorials in which technical experts will lead discussion-led sessions on experimental techniques that are important for study of the plant nucleus

– Standardised Protocols that are linked to INDEPTH member research activities

– Expert talks from the 2021 Society of Expeimental Biology (SEB) Main Meeting (online) within a special INDEPTH session on ‘Dynamic organization of the nucleus across kingdoms”. These talks can be viewed on the Society of Experimental Biology YouTube Channel here.
