Funded Activity Summary

Beyond the genome: unravelling the intricacies of epigenetic regulation using the honey bee model. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, provide the interface between genome and environment. Abnormalities in epigenetic regulation lead to cancer and other diseases. The project will be using the alternative phenotypes in honeybees, fertile queens and sterile workers, to understand how dietary factors control conditional gene expression by methylation
