Funded Activity Summary

Epigenesis and sociality: Unraveling the link between nutrition and the genome - how do genes and environment interact to produce phenotypes? This project has the capacity to transform our understanding of how genes and environment interact to produce whole-organism phenotypes. It will provide novel data on how an entire genome responds to nutrition and how external factors can enforce a differential expression of a common heritable genetic program. The national and community benefits of the project will be to maintain Australian leadership in epigenetics and advanced genetics of complex self-organizing systems. The findings of this project have the potential to be applicable to explaining regulatory networks underlying diet induced changes in human gene expression.
