Funded Activity Summary

While genetics refers to the gene sequence, or DNA code, epigenetics refers to all the other factors that control how and when each gene is expressed. Many studies have shown that epigenetic factors are disrupted in cancer. This study uses new high-throughput sequencing technologies to look at the changes in epigenetic marks that occur in prostate cancer. We will develop methods to integrate many layers of epigenetic data to determine how these changes regulate genes.
